Passage: Tipping in Restaurants
Research shows that tipping in a restaurant has little to no effect on service. What tipping does
do is enable restauranteurs to pay less than the federal minimum wage to servers and depend
on customers to make up the difference between servers’ salaries and the minimum wage. The
U.S federal minimum wage for servers is $2.13 per hour. Although minimum wage varies from
state to state, it is safe to say that customers are paying the lion’s share of servers’ salaries. This
practice leads to resentment on the part of customers and it devalues servers. It’s time to abolish
tipping and pay employees a living wage. The result may well be happy servers who provide
excellent service to grateful customers.
4. Which of the following is the writer’s main argument?
o The custom of tipping should be abolished and servers paid a living wage
o Customers are resentful of having to help pay the salaries of servers
o The federal rate for servers is too low
o Servers should provide excellent service no matter how much they make.
, 5. Which of the following is evidence the writer provide to support the main argument?
o Customers pay a large percentage of server’s salaries
o Minimum wage varies from state to state
o Customers are grateful for excellent service
o Servers do not provide good service because of their low pay.
