Know how and how much to tip people who expect gratuities, even in the case of poor service.

For restaurants that have a minimum gratuity charge on large groups, the IRS will now count those tips as regular wages rather than traditional tips that we are all familiar with when we dine out. Ask any server, and they will tell you that this will directly affect their day-to-day lifestyle.

I wish we had a system where you are given a bill including service and that people were paid properly so they didn't have to rely on tips. In different restaurants there are different policies and it's all very confusing.

Most times we would make more money in the tip boxes - they called it - than we were getting paid.

Wal-Mart has always paid low wages, or, as Sam Walton put it, 'as little as we could get by with at the time.'

It's like you work with people, and based on the size of the budget, you sometimes can't pay them what they deserve.

There's very little substitute in the business world for making money.

If you wanted to build an Internet startup in 2005, you had to buy your own servers and hire someone to manage it. Now, that's unheard of.

You don't have to tip anybody, anywhere, anything. You do so only because you want to, in appreciation for service well-rendered.

When I started my last business, I didn't receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can't handle that pressure.
