Makes me wonder just how dumb Fox Nooze thinks its viewers are. Are we really to believe that this waitress, or any other, delivers TEN DRINKS and ONE PERSON gives her a dollar?
I'm perfectly willing to believe that their tip income is down. But there's no way to verify it, because they don't report their tips directly to management (they, of course, report them all on their tax returns, har, har). I ain't gonna shed no tears, though. Back when I worked in Vegas, a good cocktail waitress, working anywhere but the worst joints, could set aside enough money to buy a new car for cash in a year--and many that I knew did just that. It's still a terrific job in terms of making good money with NO skills and NO education (tits, yes).
Save your moronic Fox bashing when you can back up your post.The same info was reported by the New York Post - "Tipping in Las Vegas drops drastically — tourists say service doesn’t match higher costs" --Tipping in Sin City is reportedly down by as much as 50% among servers, as some of them blame the economy and policy while others point to high prices, a tipping backlash and poor service. On Reddit’s r/VegasLocals forum, one cocktail waitress wrote, “I used to average about 80 cents a drink. Now I’m averaging about 10 cents.” “We are working triple what we used to and making a quarter of what we did,” another person added on the forum. -- https://nypost.com/2025/08/09/lifestyle/tipping-in-las-vegas-drops-drastically-tourists-say-service-doesnt-match-higher-costs/#:~:text=Las%20Vegas%20servers%20say%20they,tipping%20backlash%20and%20poor%20service.
