What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

All this publicity will make it hard for her not to declare this amount on her tax return next year!!

It's good news for the other waiters/waitresses, too - she probably has to tip out a percentage to them.

Other way around Corey :)
Servers tip out the host staff and bartenders, but bartenders normally don't tip out the host or server staff.

My bad, my brain deleted the word bartender when I read this, I think.

depends on the place. the bar i waitressed at in college was the other way around - bartenders tipped out waitresses... or they were supposed to anyway. i think it actually happened once.

btw i think it depends on whether it's a bar that serves food, or a restaurant with a bar. i worked at a bar where most people opened their tabs at the bar, and then went to find a seat, so the waitresses did half the work, but the tip would go to the bartender. at applebees, i would assume it's the other way around.

Bartenders often pool their tips and divide them out amongst the other bartenders - but my friends who have worked at similar restaurants to this one said they get to keep whatever tips they earn.

There is no tip pooling in this line of work. I also receive tips and must declare 100% of them. Very few jobs have any unreported tips in this day and age.

Speaking as someone who has worked as a bartender and server for (too many) years, I'll say this -- she'll hafta declare it to Uncle Sam, because it was left on a credit card. Had it been in cash...well, that's a different story. One must declare 8.5 percent of total sales as tip income, so if he'd slipped her 10K in cash, she'd be declaring....oh, let's see...about $2.25.
And though she didn't have to pool that tip with the other servers and bartenders, I imagine that the drinks were on her after work that night.

Actually, when looking into under-reporting, I believe the IRS calculates or imputes the interest for all the workers based on the restaurant's average (which is draw from credit card receipt tips for the year). If examined, this could skew them all up anyway. A thoughtful patron would tip in cash.

"I'd like to take care of my parents, since they always took care of me," she said. "But I feel like he wanted me to buy something for myself, and there's a Jeep that I've had my eye on for a while."
Is this the most ridiculous statement ever? Especially when you find out her Dad will be missing work because of knee surgery. I'm sure your parents appreciate it!
