Who Is Your Boss

Who is your boss?  Working for a client is totally different from working for money, and the client knows the difference.  Each time we get service, we also get a message from the service provider.  This is how tips are supposed to work, good service, good tip...but there is so much more just below the almost immeasurable surface.  If joy is a factor in the exchange, it is easy to part with money at the end of the short term relationship. If somehow someway there is a feeling of being "shortchanged" in the experience before the bill arrives, there also comes the feeling of not wanting to pay, resentment for having to because that's what you agreed to went you ordered food.  Earning money is a big deal, for both parties. The question of who is your boss is one about internal mechanisms, a decision of how to serve based on integrity, not income.
