Fairness with Tips

When I eat out, I never, ever leave a tip by credit card - that just sounds a bit remote to me and I'm not confident that it will actually reach the people it's supposed to.

It seems that greedy and unscrupulous owners have developed an imaginative range of ways to keep some of the cash I leave instead.

Thanks to Kezia Dugdale for raising awareness of Unite's Fair Tips campaign which aims to ensure that more of the tip money is actually given to the staff and not pocketed by the owners.

This is just part of Kezia's crusade to quiz coffee shops in Edinburgh about a variety of things, including their recycling policy. I shall look forward to seeing the results.

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
