l**a 发帖数: 1175 | 3 ***如何给小费(gratuity)***
刚查Royal Caribbean网站的时候,马上就被其诱人的票价迷惑住了。虽然一直纳闷为
什么和其它cruise line比起来要便宜那么多, 但是还是毫不犹豫地下了单。到了船上
,和所有人一样享受到了热情周到的服务,心里不禁盘算着如何给好小费的问题。大概
第三天的样子吧,收到船方发出的信息:我们建议你按下面的数字慷慨地给船上的员工
小费以示对他们服务的认可。
Waiter………………….. $3.50 per night per guest.
Assistant waiter… $2.00 per night per guest.
Head waiter……………. $0.75 per night per guest.
Stateroom attendant….. $3.50 per night per guest.
Tips:
1. 在http://cruisetip.tpkeller.com/也可以查到各家cruise的小费计算方法。
2. 不知道在国际海航行是怎么交税,个人觉得给现金他们 |

Gratuities and service charges
Gratuities and tips that a customer leaves voluntarily for the wait staff
are not taxable.
Mandatory gratuities are different because they are automatically added onto
the bill given to the customer. However, a mandatory gratuity is not

C*******w 发帖数: 643 | 10 我给小费遵守的原则是Double Tax,德州的Tax是8.25%, 所以我一般给小费都是 16.5%
,不管服务是好还是不好,我都不会给服务员脸子看。在我的菜上全之前不要抱怨(盐
量的特殊要求除外)不管菜好吃不好吃都不会要求回锅,并且绝对拒绝饭店的offer的
免费道歉菜。
那我这个16.5%的无条件小费实际变成了那个网友所说的劳务费,这个不是因为我需要
或者有义务给他这个劳务费,而是不愿意让人背后咒我。我的原则是如果服务不好或者
菜不好,下次不去就是了。
对于小费,按照维基的说法雇主有义务把员工没达到最低工资的部分补齐,这就说明服
务了工作了但是还是没有达到最低工资是合理的情况。这个结果可以由两个原因之一或
者是两者的综合因素,1:顾客来的太少,2:顾客给的小费太少。
要研究小费到底该不该给,只是看“tipped wage in the United States”还不全面,
还要好好研究“Gratuity”和“principle-agent problem”. 虽然多烂的饭馆我都会

c***s 发帖数: 70028 | 43 小账又称小费,而广东俗语更有几个其他称呼。我最欣赏是香港的一些老人家还应该记得的「金梳」一词,是英语come shore(抵岸)的谐音。源于鸦片战争后,西洋鬼子群起乘船抵港,岸上的苦力就是这样叫,而跟着食肆的侍应也这样叫了。(后来「金梳」又以谐音翻为英语cumshaw,杀进英语字典,解作赏钱。)小账西方称gratuity或tips。有三类:自愿、强迫、竞投。自愿的小账是大家熟知的到餐厅进膳或到宾馆住宿给服务员的,是多是少由顾客决定。强迫是硬性地在价单之上加一个百分率,通常加十或十五。西方称服务费(service charge)。有点怪,因为服务费已经算进餐价或房价,怎么再加呢?
竞投小账源于订价偏低
我要先谈「竞投」这项小账。没有什么值得多谈,因为少人注意,要顺便一提。一九七八年,老师阿尔钦访港,在街上见到计程车招之不停。摆明是空车,但一律不停,问我何解,我教他双手各出一指,打个「十」字,车会停下来。果然灵光,阿师回美后把这件琐事几番跟朋友说了。原来当时香港的计程车供不应求,用两指打个「十字」是说在计程表之价上补加十元小账。这是竞投的小账了。
也是上世纪七十年代,日本东京的计程车也供不... 阅读全帖 |

Malnutrition and Starvation Deaths
‘Due to malnutrition people started falling sick, in the last five years
more than 200 people have died on this (Tea) estate alone.’
‘They do not have any rice, they are hungry and they have to work on empty
stomach- so they fall ill and die. All of them died due to hunger and
malnutrition. This is how my husband died, he worked without enough food and

I guess you can't read. I said it's a problem caused by the tour organizer
making false advertisement of price. The tour guide can be angry about the
situation, but the tourist is entirely within his legal right to refuse
paying the tip.
In addition, tip is expected but not guaranteed for anyone working in the
service industry. Anyone who want to make it a career in this industry need
to understand it. If someone think he has a right to demand tip from
everyone he services, then he is in t... 阅读全帖 |

l*******n 发帖数: 293 | 49 小费问题
小费也许是北美服务行业特有的东西,是一种没有明确规定但却是路人皆知的规矩。欧
洲很多国家和地方大都加在服务费里,小费不象美国这么慷慨和几乎硬性。给小费的多
少当然要看饭馆的档次和你得到服务的好坏,差别很大,一般说来:10%是低比例、中
等15%,好的20%甚至更多。
比如说几个人一起到餐馆吃饭,点了100块的东西,需要加法定的8.875%纽约市销售税
,另外还要再考虑给158到20%的小费,总共就得近130快。
小费在西方残酷竞争的资本主义社会里,一开始有其根源和存在的合理性。
首先,端盘子伺候人看人脸色的活在任何社会都是低端的,也很多是临时性的,因为这
活不需要多大的技术,差不多每个人都可以上阵,所以作为饭店饭馆老板就只会给最低
的工资,很多只给服务生时新一美元或两美元工钱,不乏甚者,有些(中)餐馆甚至一
分工钱都不出,服务生就只靠挣客人小费。这在法律上违不违反最低工资标准法,是一
个边缘地带问题,我们也不去追究讨论,反正社会现实就是这样。
你到餐馆就座,您就是座上客,您就是有闲钱的老板。你想要什么,做什么样,完全您
说了算。英文点单叫“Order”,带有命令的意思。所以服... 阅读全帖 |
