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

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

'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.

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.

areas from all sides, through the
blood stream. It opens stuffed
up, blocked nasal passages. Free
breathing is restored in minutes.

congestion in the nose-sinus
area.
