Kere-s what . : 0 S3 Dt) 'CD gG 0 ) his railroad salary. Those GIs were paid 78 a month. Quite a difference. SSgt. arl E. Johnson, Ent Air Force Base, Colo. I'm a district sales man ger for a cosmetics firm and, in traveling, pping has become a financial problem as ell as a social nuisance. Tips are hard to iclude in expense reports, because there re no receipts. I usually have to tip 15 to ) percent to avoid embarrassment in pub but can include only about 10 per ;nt on my expense account because any ore looks like padding. Frankly, I wish someone would devise an iceptable tipping system including tips in e cost of service, for instance, as suggest 1 in your article. Meanwhile, the only way get service with no tips expected is to avel by bus or plane, eat in cafeterias, and eep in motels Mrs. Henrietta L. Wolf, ork, Pa. he suggestion that the tip "be included in a fixed service charge" has much merit and, in fact, this idea has been in effect in Europe for ars. Trouble is, it doesn't work not after nericans get through with it. On a recent trip there I found that we :re expected to tip in addition to the 10 20 percent added to hotel and restaurant Is for service. Seems free-spending nericans, wanting to make a big impres n or get that extra service, pay the serv 1 charge and start tipping on top of that e Europeans love it! H. F. M., Jefferson ty, Mo. I work as a waitress mmers and teach school Winters, so I can 'k at this from both sides of the table. I nk it would be a disastrous thing if tip 's were abolished. Waitresses are quite human, and they try do better work if they know their cus p's appreciate it. Most of them don't ke big salaries. Many of them could not ord to work as waitresses without tips. I 1t look on it as begging alms, because that extra tip for extra service may be the means of buying extra food and clothing for children waiting at home. Ola Feigh ner, White Cloud, Mich. 'm a chambermaid in a hotel. It's all heavy work and hardly any tips, especially con sidering all the conven tions they hold. Most of the guests ignore us, and with the small salary we make (about $30 a week) it doesn't leave us much for expenses. Speak ing for a few of us, however, we would just as soon have better wages, say at least $1 an hour, then when a guest checked out without tipping we wouldn't feel so bad. Miss Cecilia Quinn, Atlantic City, N. J. I don't believe tipping should be abolished. Many times I have sat in restaurants and writhed inwardly to see a large and loud group at another table run a poor little waitress ragged, then leave a tip that hardly amounted to 10 cents per person. As she sighed and pocketed this munificent sum, I could only reflect that the more demanding patrons are usually the worst tippers. On the other hand, people who feel they are under duress to tip, regardless of the quality of service, are as much to blame. They need more backbone to tell a waitress occasionally that the absence of a tip is be cause of absence of service. It's the "auto matic" feature of tipping that has degraded it, because an earned tip is a legitimate reward for legitimate labor. Mrs. R. S., LeMars, Iowa. 've been a bartender for 20 years. I know of many restaurants that get high prices for food but pay their help very little in wages. The public is expected to pay the difference. I've cashed hundreds of checks for res taurant help and, believe me, if it wasn't for their tips they'd starve. Harold G. Brunk, Davenport, Iowa.
