As for tips, they should have gone out the window when the guaranteed minimum wage came in. Anyone making £20+ per hour doesn't need any tax-free on the side. But as with taxis and restaurants, we've been conditioned to feel guilty if we don't.

Interesting US fed min wage 7.25$ hr.
Tipped employees 5.12$ hr. $ not £.
Most fast food places make employees managers or asst managers so they don't have to pay overtime. Great place(;-(

% tip.
Ive been reading some horror stories about people serving large groups,
not receiving a tip and realizing that they had actually paid to serve the customers.

in US catering try "Sundays are the worst" website.
PhilD said:^ ha, fair point.

Looks like the site is down - libel suits in progress no doubt. I think our own zero-hours contracts and commission-only telesales jobs are exploitative too. Hope Ed Miliband gets em banned.
