2 for 1 Pizza Express vouchers in The Times from Saturday

  • I worked as a waitress and never *expected* to get tips. If I did get one, it was a nice bonus but I didn't consider people "cheap" if they didn't give me anything. The minimum wage is there for a reason.

    And if someone IS getting less than minimum wage, they need to shop their employer and not expect customers to make up the difference!

    Actually i think you will find that it is legal for minimum wage to be subsidised by tips, which i agree it shouldnt be but it is.

    The reason for this? Waiters are *expected* to get tips!
  • Well in my personal experience, I did not EXPECT to get tips, and if I did, they were on top of my basic wage. This was a few years ago though.

    This is besides the point of the original post though.

    Agreed, its a rather contensious issue and off topic.
  • Rather than collecting the vouchers, a relative subscribes to The Times and has brought me some vouchers which were sent to him, as a subscriber, to save him collecting vouchers from the newspaper. They appear to be valid for "all" promotions, not only this one, and say they can be used in place of those printed.
    Has anybody used these for the Pizza Express promotion (or indeed any others?) as I don't want to take them along and make a fool of myself! LOL

    If they dont metion the pizza express deal on them, then they are unlikely to be accepted.

    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"
  • I have the voucher (which runs out Nov 29th - today) but is it too late to use it tonight?
