Looks like a link in the OP has been hacked. Why does that not surprise me.

Yes, tips are earned, but if you had the choice to either earn a tip, while working a 13 hour day, or not, what would you do. Yes its sterotyping, but why is there always 10 cabbies waiting outside of the Waldof-astoria but maybe one or two if any at a holiday inn. My friend wasn’t a cabby, he was in food services.

I was actually getting into this becuase our school is big on diversity and we were discussing what it would be like to live in as a minority in a “free” country, if the Moslem law silently presided, as the Christian law had for centururies.

All of you, I’m guessing are in a comfortable majority, and to think this is all religious, and not religion as an excuse is simly silly. How many “christians” would have a problem with having to work on Christmas, even though Jesus has nothing to do with December 25 for them.

Hands up, anybody over the age of 30 who’s never had to work on Christmas day. In today’s world, at some point along the way, you’re going to work a shift on Christmas Day, unless you’re either an office worker or a CEO - and you normally don’t get those jobs without paying your dues on the front lines, first.

I was in the Military. You worked and was supposed to be available 24/7. Yes I worked all the holidays but that was the job.

I worked in the hospitality industry for years, and it was the same, there - we were “on call” all the time, and if it got busy (and Christmas was a busy time of the year, for us) we all had to go in.

When I moved into the printing industry, it was a little better, but not much - we still had clients who had last minute deadlines over the “holidays” - sometimes I managed to get Christmas off, but there was always a lot of horse-trading going on - if you took Christmas, you had to work New Year’s, and stuff like that. And December 26-31 were regular work days, as far as our boss was concerned.

The first time I ever got a Christmas holiday in the working world was when I was working for the University (and even then, there were people in my department working during the holidays - not me, though! 😃 )
 
sort of my point, those with money get to do what they want with christmas day…regradless of their true religious beliefs…and christmas typically, in America, the workload is lighter on christmas.

Religion drives our country…as an escuse of what we do for work…maybe a holiday was a bad example. Still, if I know that somebody’s going to tip more I have the human inclination to serve them better. Its easy to tell people who don’t tip well, college students, people who are old, those well dressed white or asisn often tip well. Its the fact of life…based on my experiance and alot of others, and of course, its sterotype, but the world lives by it. If I could elliminate all the coustomers who didn’t tip well with a religious belief then as an non-christian I would.
