So PLEASE use this piece of information with ANYONE who doesn't see the value in tipping any more than in the 5% range, or wants to offset their tip by being extra-nice.

are you kidding me? 2.13 usd ? thats a joke isnt it?

i cant believe that anybody would work for that money...

is that the norm in the us? so if you work 10 hours you earn 20usd and 5 days a week 100usd .. so 400usd per month ?

than i would recommend that these people start working in a factory in china as you get more money in china working in a factory which is producing all the goods for the world...
