omlet man might be getting paid a regular hourly wage already for his job which is to cook omlets. while the waitress/waiter is getting paid like $2-$4/hr.
Yes. I know starting wage was like $14 per hour for Culinary union workers in 2003 plus TONs of generous benefits & excellent working conditions. Paris buffet is union. http://www.culinaryunion226.org/patronize.asp
Perhaps, the omelet chef refusing this tip was due to health code (as escog pointed out in Reply #9) and/or union regulations.
Yes, the rule in Vegas is to tip 10% for all casino cashier transactions. (Well, 15% if you want really good karma.) Same as your bank teller back home.
Well, to answer my own question, we went to Harrah's in Cherokee, Nc this weekend and I noticed tip boxes at the cashier cages. This particular casino has the absolute slowest ticket/bill machines in the world and the lines are often a 5-6 person wait. If I need a hundred split to 5's or 20's, I cannot justify tipping them for this service. Maybe if I win a small jackpot and decide not to wait the line at the machines.....but just to get initial change, no way
