|Home Aspria CVS Attachment Kit Zoom Power Turbo CV2600-LVT
Order the Aspria CV2600-LVT On Vacdepot!
What's Included in the CV2600-LVT Kit?
30' & 35' hose length options are silver color, 40' and 50' hose length options are grey color.
Zoom Turbo nozzle available in 3 colors: ONYX (black), SAPPHIRE (Dark Blue) or Platinum (Silver). The default color PLATINUM will be sent if no color is selected.
The CV2600-LVT is a CVS cleaning system with LVT (Low-Voltage & Turbo). A Turbo drive brush system operates without any additional electricity, power cords or batteries which makes installation easier and less costly. Because of this the Turbo drive system is quite popular with retro-fit applications where it may be impossible to supply electricity to the inlet valves or place valves near electrical outlets. The turbine drive works by using the airpower from your central vacuum system. Airflow is pulled through the turbine drive which is connected to the brush roller by a no-stretch belt. Both power and speed are given to the brush roller though gearing and reduction in the drive system. The result is powerful agitation for cleaning carpeted surfaces with full suction power.
Turbo Drive brush systems like the Turbocat require good airflow to operate correctly. The turbine drive needs the energy of the moving airflow to spin the turbine, which reduces the airflow that is delivered to the cleaning surface. Airflow is a factor of cleaning that is reduced with distance from the power source. Simply put, the farther the distance from power unit to turbo brush, the less performance at the tool. Using a turbo attachment kit in a large installation will either require a larger suction motor to compensate for the increased distance or result in less cleaning power. This is why in larger installations where more pipe is required or more valves are used it is often best to clean with an electrically powered brush system when available.
The new Turbocat Zoom EX is manufactured by HP-Vacuflo, creators of the original TurboCat. Shown here in ONYX (black) color, it is also available in SAPPHIRE (blue) and PLATINUM (silver) colors at order. The marketing for the new EX series TurboCat claims "It's NOT your mother's vacuum". This refers to the many impressive design enhancements over the previous TurboCat nozzles and the new sleek nozzle cover. Many of these design enhancements are covered under the Z-Tech Design (hence the name, Zoom).
Building on the existing Turbocat performance is a great idea. With decades of reliable cleaning the Turbocat has been a proven performer and is admired by many in the industry as the very best air-driven carpet nozzle. The new EX model features a dual bristle row and spiral design (paddle like) that enhances airflow and pickup. The new brush arrangement is a crimped chevron with dual height bristles that bring all debris to the intake opening and ensures constant contact with the floor surface. The new Zoom nozzle also gives far less bounce than the older model tubocat. While remaining lightweight and easy to use the Zoom brush does not bounce or skip when pulling back, an annoying tendency of the older turbocat nozzle.
The base plate, also called the nozzle shoe, is surrounded by recessed channels both front and back to increase airflow which also increases brush performance. A larger intake port for the turbine system also increases performance and helps the system to ingest more debris. Other new upgrades include the self-tensioning belt. The new non-slip belt is a ribbed design which differs from the previous cogged unit, having vastly increased life span (belts nearly last forever) and lower operating noise. The Silent Drive non-slip belt and the new Run-Silent bearing isolators reduces vibration along with the noise and also lessens overall maintenance required by the nozzle.
Front wheels called easy-glide rollers (aka - threshold helpers) were added to assist in maneuvering the 13" wide cleaning path nozzle. With an unmatched low profile, full 90° tilt and full edge-to-edge cleaning the Turbocat EX nozzle can clean most anywhere you can imagine. The new nozzle wrap bumper covers more of the Turbocat to protect furniture from damage when cleaning with the system and the easy roll rear wheels lets the nozzle work efficiently on all floor surfaces.
The underside of the Turbocat Zoom features a quick-release turbine cover that can be removed for cleaning if large objects are inadvertently pulled into the nozzle. And while no nozzle is perfectly quiet, the Turbocat Zoom does have signifigantly less noise than previous generations of the TurboCat. With a sound that is unique to turbine powered nozzles, the TurboCat Zoom runs with less noise but may not be as quiet as some of the better quality electric nozzles on the market such as the Wessel EBK360, Lindhaus PB Series or the Beam Q model.
Deluxe 30ft Low-Voltage Swivel Grip Hose
The lightweight low-voltage hose is made by the worlds leading hose manufacturer, Plastiflex with a soft molded ElectraFlex hose body. The Plastiflex hose is very flexible and can make sharp turns without cutting off the suction. The handgrip is an ergonomic "Gas-Pump Grip" design and features a simple to use low-volt thumb switch. The handle design also features a 360° swivel to reduce strain on both user and hose.
The full swivel Gas-Pump keeps you tangle free while moving about room-to-room and the finger-tip switch gives you complete control over the remote power unit. With a simple flip of the switch the power unit can be activated from the end of the hose. With a low-volt hose you need not return to the valve to activate or shut down your power unit. The tool end of the hose grip has a long wearing metal stub button lock wand built-in which provides a rigid connection for tools and wands along with a variable suction control slider to lessen suction when cleaning delicate surfaces such as drapes.
The wall cuff provides wide dual connection points on the contact ring to provide a high level of reliability and compatibility with nearly all wall-valves on the market. The wall end is fully repairable if needed and provides a positive fit in the valve. The CV2600-LVT's hose wall end is a standard 1.5" fitting and fits nearly every valve we have tried it in with the exception of older Kenmore brand wall valves that measure 1.25". If you have the older Kenmore valve give us a call for a special adapted version of any Vacdepot attachment kit. The CV2600-LVT comes standard with a silver color 30 foot length hose, the most common length of central vacuum system hose used. Other lengths are available including 35 foot silver color, 40 foot grey color and 50 foot grey color. The silver color hoses have black cuffs and handles while the grey hoses are all grey including the cuff and handle. You can also order your CV2600-LVT turbo kit with a Vacsoc hose cover installed. Both 30' & 35' lengths are available in blue or gey soc color and the 40' & 50' grey hoses are available with a grey soc.
Stainless Steel Comfort Seal Telescopic Wand
The ability to adjust the wand length is also helpful for cleaning areas where less reach is needed, like stairs or furniture that are above floor height. When your finished cleaning the wand can collapse for storage in a smaller area, like a shelf. Telescopic cleaning wands are also more stable and reliable than two wands fitted together and will not work apart while you push and pull the vacuum nozzle on the floor. The MYR6750 Comfort Seal is made from high quality stainless steel construction for the strongest wand design available with permanent, life long stain and corrosion resistance. Beautiful brushed finish shows quality workmanship that will not rust, chip, scratch or peel and will remain functional and good looking for years to come.
The tool end is a standard vacuum tool 1.25" taper design that friction fits all standard vacuum tools and locks into the Turbocat Zoom with the spring steel tension connector on the Zooms wand connection. The center of the wand has a large grip area surrounding the extension button that makes for a comfortable grip with easy adjustment and protects the thumb operated button. The top of the wand includes Myratons latest connection system designed specifically for turbo cleaning attachment sets.
The top (hose end) of the wand is sized to work with all standard 1.25" button locking and friction fitting hose handles. The hose connection area is fitted with a soft rubberized overmold that provides a tactile grip for connecting and removing the wand. The Comfort Seal extends above the top of the steel wands tube to cover the edged of the wand and also provide an air tight seal against the connecting hose end. Standard vacuum wands do not use a seal at the hose end and rely on the two parts fitting together well to prevent air leaks at the handle. If the wand is made too tight to seal out leaks they can be very hard to attach and remove. If the wand is loose or the button lock prevent the hose for sealing into the wand your vacuums suction is diverted from reaching the turbo brush.
The Comfort Seal wand prevents air leakage at the hose handle connection by providing a soft connection around the entire hose stub and also by sealing the button locking hole in the wand under the Comfort Seal grip. Comfort Seal wands can increase suction by as much as 20% over regular vacuum wands that leak airflow. Central vacuum airflow and suction are even more important when a turbo carpet brush is used. Leaky vacuum wand can reduce brush speed up to 30% of the normal operating RPM's which leads to an overall less effective vacuum. The Aspria CV2600-LVT Zoom Power Turbo is the only CVS attachment set to offer the stainless steel Comfort Seal Wand standard.
Deluxe Widepath Hard Floor Brush
The EP14105 is a heavy-duty floor brush suitable for home or commercial use. The expansive working width provides excellent coverage in large areas and is also very maneuverable with a full swivel neck. The EP14105 has a full wrap of natural fill bristle brush strips front and back with vinyl outboard rollers and a soft vinyl outer cover that keeps the tool from scratching or marring wood or laminate floors. The large (50mm) center opening allows for optimal airflow when working with the higher power supplied by central vacuum systems without drag, seal-off or excessive noise. The brush set is detachable for easy cleaning in the sink or dishwasher providing for years of trouble free use. The floor tool's connector is a standard friction fit for quick connection to the telescopic wand or for use with the ABS wand set.
The Not So Basic Three
In every cleaning action, it is the tool at the direction of the user that gets the job done. Quality above the floor cleaning tools, just as with the EP14105 hard floor brush, not only get the job done faster but get it done better. The cleaning tool is where the suction meets the dirt and you need the best connection design between the two for superior performance. We had many choices available in this area and we selected the best for inclusion in our custom kit.
To start with we replaced the regular round dusting brush with our professional dusting tool aptly named the Ultimate Dusting Brush; Wessel-Werk model UDB174-32. The UDB174 dusting tool is the nozzle we also ship with our commercial backpack vacuum systems for heavy duty cleaning where it is prized by maid services and professional cleaners.
The Ultimate Dusting Brush from Wessel is an indispensable tool in any cleaning arsenal. If you use your vacuum to clean above the floor or for other utility work, a dusting brush is often the tool you will use. Unfortunately the dusting brush included with most vacuums is too small to be used efficiently, has an inconvenient design or shape and may have bristles that are too short or made of material that is inflexible, leaving dust behind on the surface being cleaned.
With one tool, Wessel Werk has addressed all the deficiencies of regular dusting brushes. The cleaning face has been shaped for the way people clean. The UDB has a five-inch cleaning depth with a 1.5 inch protected opening. The elongated service end of the tool has nearly twice the cleaning area of standard dusting brushes letting the user do more work in a single pass. The top of the UDB is also tapered and the bristles swept forward letting you clean into corners and reach areas inaccessible to other tools; and the suction opening is tapered so suction is evenly distributed the whole length of the tool.
There are 68 individual tufts mounted in a double offset row to the chassis with raised connectors to hold the bristles securely to the tool. The soft bristles are longer to flex as the tool passes over the object being cleaned, using stored tension in the bending bristle to knock dust particles off the surface and into the air stream. The poly bristles and heavy-duty housing are also water washable and fit easily in the top rack of your dishwasher.
The deluxe vinyl upholstery tool included in the CV2600 is 6" (152mm) wide with a scalloped bottom plate insert and a grooming brush. The shoe design insures continuous air-flow without the need for a suction reducer, eliminating "seal off". The brush strip gently engages upholstery to lift debris and groom surfaces.
The brush also helps to remove hair, pet fur, lint and other clingy soils that suction alone will not remove. The soft outer cover will not mar light colored furniture or scratch soft surfaces and the friction fitting connector will allow use directly at the end of the hose or with any wand extension.
Our unique crevice tool is 13" (330mm) long with flat profile and slots for those "hard-to-reach" corners and crevices where dust and debris can hide. Slots provide additional airflow along the cleaning surface underneath furniture and cabinets. Made of textured ABS plastic the crevice tool is strong enough to take abuse but also just a bit flexible to keep it from breaking.
Most often crevice tools are used for cleaning areas and objects never conceived of by the engineers, and are jammed into, next to, under and between anything and everything. Realizing long ago that crevice tools are used often, and often abused, the crevice tool was redesigned to stand up to rigorous use. The extra length of the crevice nozzle, a full 13 inches, helps you to continue jamming, pushing and prying the crevice tool wherever you need to clean.
CV2600-LVT System Storage
To keep all of your tools neat and tidy, storage is provided in a mesh storage bag with carry straps. The perfect place to store all of your tools including above floor nozzles and floor cleaning nozzles. With plenty of room for wands and tools the mesh storage bag keeps everything together when not in use so tools do not become lost or chew toys for the dog. The mesh storage features a strong nylon handle at the top so the bag can hang on a hook in your storage closet, over the included hose hanger, or you can hang the loop over a coat hanger and store the tools on a closet rod. The mesh design allows you to see at a glance which tools are stored. Easy to transport, the mesh storage bag is an easy way to move all your tools to the area being cleaned, instead of walking back and forth to your storage closet to retrieve one tool at a time.
A single loop hose hanger provides convenient hose storage. Made of polycarbonate and matched to the CV2600-LVT attachment kit, the hose hanger provides plenty of space to keep your hose coiled up off the floor, preventing damage. Easy to mount to any wall with screws or wall anchors, the hose hanger provides plenty of space for the hose, even when wrapped tightly in many shorter loops. Keeping your hose coiled and off the floor will greatly extend its cleaning life and help to keep it flexible for many years. The single loop design also provides a great place to hang your mesh storage bag as well.
Providing for "off the floor" storage the CV2600-LVT attachment kit also includes a wall mount wand holder. These unique devices mount directly to the wall with included screws or wall anchors and feature a flexing, pivoting rubber strap. To store the telescopic wand and EP14105 Floor Tool, just push the wand into the rubber strap and it locks into place supporting the full weight of wand and tool, hanging on the wall and out of the way.
The perfect replacement for older straight suction attachment kits that need a powerful upgrade and excellent for new homes with high traffic hard floors and rugs. The Aspria Zoom Power Turbo attachment set is our most powerful Turbine drive system ever and includes the very best tools and accessories in the industry. From the oversized Plastiflex 30 foot, 1 3/8" power hose to the HP Turbocat Zoom nozzle and the Comfort Seal telescopic stainless steel extension wand, the CV2600-LVT attachment kit has everything you need to clean your home. A perfect fit for those who do need to clean some carpeting but do not want or need an electric powered brush for carpet. The CV2600 is a custom solution for central vacuum systems including tools that are perfectly matched to their task and to each other.
Also Available: Model CV1155-LV is a similar attachment set with straight suction cleaning tools and low-voltage (switched) hose for homes with primarily hard floors. Also available, the Aspria CV6855 power brush kits include the Wessel-Werk EBK340-QDC power brush. When cleaning homes of primarily carpeted floors, large homes or homes with a larger load of pets or people, a powered brush is required for embedded soil removal.
What's Included in the CV2600-LVT Kit?
30' & 35' hose length options are silver color, 40' and 50' hose length options are grey color.
Zoom Turbo nozzle available in 3 colors: ONYX (black), SAPPHIRE (Dark Blue) or Platinum (Silver). The default color PLATINUM will be sent if no color is selected.

The Archie Show was the first of several TV incarnations of the beloved comic book series, which began in the 40's and still continues today. The popular show, which seemed to change titles every season, focused on a group of teenagers who, despite their wildly different personalities, still preferred to hang out together.
The leader of the gang was red-headed all-American nice guy Archie Andrews. The object of his affections was usually the wealthy, dark-haired beauty Veronica Lodge, who was all too aware of her devastating looks. Competing with Archie for her affections was the equally self-absorbed Reggie Mantle. Jughead Jones, Archie's skinny and always-hungry best friend, had a great fear of girls, and so always played the cynical bystander to the other boys' pursuit of Veronica. Rounding out the cast was Betty Cooper, the friendly blonde girl-next-door, who was Veronica's best friend and worst enemy in the constant competition to be Archie's girl of choice.
Also along for the action were Riverdale High School's homeroom teacher, Miss Grundy; Principal, Mr. Weatherbee; PE instructor, Coach Kleats; school jock, Big Moose; school brain, Dilton Doily; and Jughead's pursuer, Big Ethel. The unofficial mascot was Hot Dog, Jughead's big, white sheepdog.
When the kids weren't riding around in Archie's noisy jalopy or eating at Pop's Chock'lit shop, they were singing groovy tunes in their rock band called, appropriately, The Archies.
In the real world, The Archies were a group of talented studio musicians fronted by Ron Dante, who hit the big time with their smash single "Sugar Sugar," which became the #1 song on the charts in 1969.
In addition to the songs, the Archie clan left several stamps on pop culture, including Jughead's "so-geeky-it's-cool" crown hat, and the classification of girls as either pretty, nice "Bettys" or hot and conceited "Veronicas." The show itself, in various forms, lasted through the 1980's.

Comments On Jun 12, 2013:I had a 99 YZ125 and bought a craftsman 30mm wrench for the steering stem nut, then I got this 94 CR125 and it required a 32mm. I live in Guam and it's impossible to find a large metric wrench so I found one on RM that worked for the CR and should work on any other bike I ever own for the rest of my life. It's chromed, pretty good quality tool if you ask me!

Editorial an assault on senior drivers
Based on the logic used in The Almanac's editorial of July 31 regarding requiring the retesting of senior citizens for driver's licensing, we should require electricians to be retested for driver's licensing every two years.
The reason I say this is that your newspaper's reasoning is based on an error in judgment of the driver. Knowing nothing of the driver other than her age, The Almanac apparently feels at liberty to decide that the error in judgment was due to the only factual information (other than gender) it had about the driver.
A few years ago, I had an electrician working at my house. I do not know his age, but I am sure it was well under the 45 year age that Pennsylvania feels at liberty to start age-based discrimination for driver's licensing. The electrician thought he put his car in park, but his being sure did not stop it from drifting down my driveway, crossing the street and crashing into my neighbor's house. The house was extensively damaged, but luckily the neighbor was in a section of the house away from the crash and there were no pedestrians in the street, nor children in the yard. A mechanic called to the scene by the police certified that there was no mechanical defect to the car and that it could not have been left in park – an error in driver judgment. As the only information I actually knew about the driver was that he was an electrician, the error in judgment obviously indicates we have to start testing electrician's driving skills every two years, the same time frame as advocated by The Almanac for aged drivers.
Regarding the statistical studies, they give mere correlations, which does not establish cause and effect. If someone has physical impairments that validly limit driving ability, there are other ways that fact can be determined other than a wholesale assault on all senior drivers, and The Almanac ought to take the trouble to find out what other methods are available.
Conjecture becomes neither adequate evidence nor sound reason, because the conjecture comes from the owner of a printing press. The Almanac owes its readers thorough research in addition to sound reasoning and the use of bona fide evidence before it advocates any public policy.

A Russian friend of mine has posted this absolutely amazing story.
He works at a hard-drive repair center in a Russian town right next to the Chinese border. A couple of days ago a customer has brought a broken 500Gb USB-drive that he had bought in a Chinese store across the river, for an insanely low price. But the drive was not working: if you, say, save a movie onto the drive, playing the saved movie back resulted in replaying just the last 5 minutes of the film.

I purchased a L. R. Baggs "Lyric" to install into my Martin, Eric Clapton, 000-EC. I discovered the necessity of changing the endpin diameter. I always look to Stew Mac for assistance with any guitar related project. Sure enough not only was a specific tool available but instructions on how best to use it. Yes the price is high but when I received it and saw the quality I felt better. When I picked up one of favorite guitars and used it then I really didn't have any complaints as my Martin had been reamed without any damage! Thanks Dan for another awesome solution to an project problem. (By the way, the end result sounds fantastic!)
If you need a reamer for fitting endpins or endpin jacks, this is it. It may seem expensive for a reamer, but I was using a repairman's reamer before this and that reamer cuts very wild/jagged holes because the cutter would dig in so deep. The semi fluted design means this reamer will cut wood very well... You can also use it for enlarging tuner holes to fit those 10mm tuners, or even use it to enlarge holes on the guitar body to accept CTS pots... Like others have said a hole or a flat on the shank would be nice, because this reamer cuts very fast, so if you aren't doing just endpin jacks it's very easy to make the hole too large.
Don't do the clumsy hand reamer for tuners - this one does it in seconds - just be sure you mark your depth with a piece of tape.
As the owner of a small music store, I have been using drill bits to ream out the hole for an end pin jack. I don't know how I lived without it. I just chucked into a 3/8 cordless drill and in less than 5 minites I had the perfect hole for the end pin jack.
I didn't want to damage the finish of my baby, a Guild D-40, and experimented with other tools and found nothing that wouldn't cause some damage around the edge of an endpin hole. Reluctantly, I ponied up the price for this exhorbantly costly drill bit as a last resort.
It works. What else can I say? A nice, clean, smooth hole with absolutely no damage to the finish of my baby. If it wasn't so expensive I'd give it 5 stars, but it is worth the price anyway.
Like the other reviews: It seems like a lot of money, but the results you get and the piece of mind knowing that there won't be any kind of damage around the the hole is great!
I've only just replaced one of these that I've for something like 20 years. it made a vast number of holes in various instruments and served me brilliantly. it was a great pleasure to get a brand new one after all these years and find that it's exactly the same as the old one! well done, guys! it wasn't broke and you didn't fix it ....... :-)
WOW, talk about getting the right tool for the job. After using this on two guitars, I can't imagine doing it any other way. The tapered reamer and then the straight part is so perfect. Very professional.
Makes installing end pin jacks a piece of worry free cake!
This is truly a great product ensuring a safe way of installing an endpin jack.
Especially when working on expensive guitars!
Great design!

Tipping Survey Results: How Much Do You Give, Who Makes the Most?
63 comments :
Many years ago we stopped at a Howard Johnson for breakfast. It took 20 minutes to get a waitress to take our order and 32 minutes to get simple thnigs like oatmeal,coffee, toast, scrambled egg. I left three pennies as a tip, as a sign I was extremely annoyed. To leave nothing might be taken that i forgot. I didn't forget, I made a loud statement!ReplyDeleteReplies
You make a loud statement as an ass....that's for sure. Waitresses make about $2.10/hr - who knows what could have been going on behind the scenes? Maybe a cook was out sick, or another waitress & maybe your poor waitress had to carry twice the amount of tables. What a jerk you must be! Seriously! If you're in that much of a hurry, you should have grabbed an cereal bar from your pantry. So wrong to punish the waitress. You should have talked to management; perhaps they would have taken something off of your bill but, your waitress should not have been held responsible for that. I hope you stay home & eat.Delete
I absolutely agree!! You proved nothing except that you are mean. I am not a waitress but I eat out very often. I see how hard they work!! Dont be such a mean bully! Stay home.Delete
That's bullshit! Do you know Wtf a T.I.P. is?Delete
Its time these bloody restaurants put the god damn price on the menu and pay the staff - I didn't choose the waitresses job for her and if there were other issues with prompt service, perhaps she/he could come and give you a heads up! You know, above and beyond the call of duty - that's when I can understand tipping... Not because of this nasty abstract 'tradition' #tipzero! (Btw - anonymous because I can't be bothered to log on) catch me on twitter @rocmon if you feel the need to flame!
To B Roth:Delete
YOU ARE NOT AN ASS, nor any of the other names you may have been called. I have spent over 50 years in the restaurant business (in management).
Clearly the waitress should have greeted you immediately, and seen to it that you had your beverages immmediately. She should also have keep you informed that there may have been a problem in the kitchen. She should have also let the manager know there was a problem in the kitchen. There are too many managers who walk around in their ties and jackets doing nothing when they should be in the kitchen helping the cooks to get caught up.
A three cent tip (I actually only leave two cents)will get the waitress angry and one might hope that, that anger is directed toward the kitchen staff or the management. In the long run leaving a tip like that can have a very positive effect on future service.
Robert Hayes Halfpenny
One thought - the nanny is likely to have only one customer, with a great deal of contact time (at least with the children), while most of the others have a few or even many customers, each with limited contact time. It would be interesting to know, for each type of recipient, how many of those "average" tips they receive.ReplyDelete
i once left a penny tip to a gentleman who was flamboyant (not that it's bad, but he was flaunting it) and didn't take orders down on paper. the first time, he got my order completely wrong. the next time he put my plate in front of me, then promptly left. so i took the plate into the pick up area and set it in front of him and told him that he should think about writing orders down so this doesn't happen. he wouldn't come out to our table anymore, the manager did. the manager told me they like the staff to remember orders and not write them down. i never went back to the establishment any more...oh, i was the one who paid for the entire dinner party of 5.ReplyDeleteReplies
At many fine dining establishments, servers are not allowed to use pen and paper unless parties of 6 or more.Delete
I always tip 20% + on pretax. I see no reason to tip someone for what I pay the governor.ReplyDeleteReplies
I absolutely agree on tipping pre-tax and wish most people were aware of what they are basing their tip on. But this is not the worst part. When restaurants add automatic gratuities (for example for parties over 6) they inevitably use post-tax amount. Unfair.Delete
Where wine and Sommeliers are concerned most times the dining establishment is already taking a REALLY hefty mark-up on the wine ... sorry, but in my opinion this should cover their Sommelier ... I do not believe in tipping 20% on alcohol ... if I choose a $50 bottle or a $200 + bottle, I'm not going to tip any differently ... everything done to open and serve a moderately priced wine as opposed to an expensive bottle is identical. Furthermore,if I order wine and the stemware is not appropriate to the wine, I will consider deducting for this.Delete
Regardless of the cost of your bottle of wine, the server is taxed on his/her income (TIPS) via sales. Hourly wages can range from $2.13 to $7.00, thus tips ARE income. You decide not to tip on a $100 bottle of wine--your server will be taxed on $15.00 of that sale.Delete
Dear Anonymous: You are a good tipper. Our daughter worked as a waitress in a well-known restaurant. She was usually tipped well. She always said "If you can't tip your server, stay home." My husband is a very generous tipper and so am I.Delete
Why aren't tips just part of the price listed/advertised... Why is it still even called a tip when it has absolutely nothing to do with ensuring promptness? Bunch of sheep... No wonder so many people use iPhones! Bahhhh, bahhhh - stupid americans!Delete
I would leave a restaurant(or a store)if there were available staff who were either rude or nonchalant about serving me.ReplyDelete
I have had bad service in restaurants that was not the server's fault; they were overwhelmed by having to big a section or brow-beaten by a-hole managers. Having once assumed that position (the former), I have much sympathy for servers who try hard but are not really cut out for that kind of work (I wasn't). I would give encouragement ("you tried your best") as well as a good (20%)tip.
As for tipping household staff, we annually tip our elderly Mom's companions several hundred dollars at Christmas. We trust them implicitly and they are worth it.
In this day and age, someone admitting he stiffed a waiter in part because he seemed gay is absolutely nauseating. When you stop "flaunting" your machismo maybe he'll stop "flaunting" his "flamboyance." If there's any justice he spat in your food- maybe you got a little gay in you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Really? You think there's EVER justification for that? You're not doing your position any favors with statements like that.Delete
These comments are the reason, well, one of them, that I got out of the restaurant industry. Seriously guys: it's just food. If you're so hung up on what you're paying and to whom (I.e., the governor, the sommelier, etc.), do us all a favor and stay home. Especially if you're not only a cheapskate, but a bigot to boot!Delete
You need to reread the comment. He was "flamboyant" about not needing to take down his orders and then got it wrong. I think you made a big leap as to intent.Delete
I work in fine dining. Most restaurants "Pool" their tips which means that what you give to the waiter is shared with the bar, busboys, runners, kitchen, hostess and sometimes the dishwasher. If you stiff a waiter it hurts people who had nothing to do with your service or even your food. I know people have issues with bottles of wine but there is a lot that goes in to that too. Where I work we have a Sommelier who works really hard to create a great wine program for us but he is not always there. The servers have to pour the wine and act as the Sommelier would and someone has to wash the glasses, in our case by hand, so customers where I work tip on the full price of the bottle.ReplyDeleteReplies
If you don't stiff the waiter, the bad service will continue. If enough people stiff a bad waiter, the bar staff, busboys, runners, hostess, etc. will bring pressure on that bad waiter either directly or through managment. Either the waiter will improve and people will stop stiffing the waiter, or the waiter will be forced out, or the staff will continue to get less tip money and managment will continue to lose customers. You should never have to give a full tip for bad service.Delete
Why do people turn childish when it comes to tipping? If you have that big of a problem with service, you need to bring it to the attention of the manager, and let him or her deal with the situation. It's a business transaction, ultimately, and you're punishing innocent people in a very personal way.Delete
Can we please do away with tips already? It's demeaning to the recipient and uncomfortable for the giver. Moreover, tipping has lost any connection to service since everyone gives about the same amount (as we all know, and this article shows), and anyway for each of the few who that tip commensurate with service there's some bozo who comes along and tips 50% to show off what a big swinger he is.ReplyDelete
Tipping is a ridiculous throwback to the old days of class hierarchy. Do servers really want this? Here's an idea: you can have a 20% tip (on the post-tax, even) but then don't get upset when I call you "boy" and snap my fingers in the air when I want you to refill my drink. Or would you rather just get paid more in salary and be treated like a modern, professional employee?
Its time to raise the prices, raise server's salaries, and do away with the insulting ritual of tipping. Its 2012 for goodness' sake!Replies
I think tipping is more important than ever. With the severe lack of customer service these days those that actually serve the public well should be compensated for it.Delete
People that are not cut out for service should not be getting paid the same amount as a person that is Top In Personal Service (TIPS) that's what it stands for. When a service is being provided and the server does a good job and services the patron in a timely and efficient manner, they should be compensated justly.
On the other hand if the server is providing poor service, their pay should reflect their performance, or lack thereof.
The entitlement mentality is the antiquated ideal that needs a modern day overhaul. People are not entitled to a comfortable base salary just because they are in the service industry. Tips attempt to ensure prompt and excellent service. If they fail to serve appropriately, they don't get their TIPS and are paid the low base rate. If they continue to service poorly, they loose their job. If they shape up and serve properly, they get more money. I wish more jobs were that way to be honest, would make people work harder and stop expecting standard pay for substandard work.
Yes! Tipping is rediculous, raise the salaries of service providers to a respectable level. I resent tipping for average service. I am happy to tip for great service, but it is a rare thing.Delete
I really can not understand or agree to why we should pay more gratuity, when customer service is poor. When will this rediculous custom end? In Japan you do not tip and you get much better service than here in the U.S. Our system is faulty.Delete
I see no need to "gift" people who are just doing their job for which I am paying them anyway. If Christmas involves gifts, then in my opinion gifts are EXCHANGED. If it is not an exchange, then it has nothing to do with the Christmas season. Just another worker entitled to something extra.ReplyDeleteReplies
This is for all you people who balk at tipping, or find excuses to tip less, because you don't want to tip in the first place.Delete
As stated earlier, waiters make as low as $2.13 an hour, and receive NEGATIVE paychecks. Tipping is for service that you don't get at home. If you have a problem with this time honored tradition then you are, in a word, CHEAP. This is the system and until another one comes along do the right thing and tip 20%. If you can afford to go out to dinner, have a bartender make your drinks and interact with you, sit down at a table and have your waiter do your bidding like a servant for a couple of hours, then you can afford to tack on $30 for a tip to your $150 dollar dinner. I am so tired of listening to the cheap people out there whine about tipping for service, and their perceived slights by service staff that justify a lower percentage. The people who undertip are usually the hardest to please as well. Complaining about food that is cooked correctly,(because they don't know how the dish is supposed to be prepared). Taking it out on the waiter's tip % if the food doesn't come out of the kitchen with McDonalds like speed, or it comes out too fast, or the table next to them is too loud,or it's just too expensive when they get a look at the check.
HEY, you're the one who chose to eat at that restaurant in that price range.
I say just stop whining and tip like the majority of society does out there.
P.S. (If any of these cheap people ever waited tables they would change their tune in a heartbeat)
Thank you!Delete
If you don't believe it tipping, then stay home and learn to cook. How rude. Seriously. I'd be ashamed to show my face.Delete
All of you who keep saying the minimum wage is as low as $2.13/hr should look it up sometime. Yes, it may be as low as that for the salary portion of their wage but that plus tips must add up to at least $7.75/hr or the employer must make up the difference.Delete
As a former waitress myself, we expected a 10% tip. The prices of meals increased, and so did our tips. Somewhere along the line, servers decided they needed more than inflation increase so it became 15%, then 18%, and I have been charged as high as 22% with a note "for your convenience.". I have a real problem with this. I do not value waiters more highly than teachers, and I see no need to pay them an hourly rate higher than my child's teachers make and they have a degree.ReplyDeleteReplies
Many people don't realize that servers get paid as little as $2.13 per hour as a base wage. Tips are the primary source of compensation for these service workers, and by the time the government takes their allocated share (income taxes are calculated based on a percentage of the servers gross SALES), they don't get an actual paycheck at all. Bottom line is that when you eat out and expect someone to "wait on you", you should expect to pay for that service.Delete
you have no clue as to the taxation system in this country as far as tips are concerned. wait staff should be reporting tips to their employer (if it is a cash only establisment it will be under-reported.) therefore the irs says take 8% of gross sales and it to wages (this is allocated among staff receiving tips) 8% is way less than 15% they are receiving. why as a taxpaying american should i give them some entitlement (it's bad enough with obama) next time you are in a restaurant, count the number of tables a waiter handles, count what you believe to be the gross bill of people eating at that persons table multiply conservatively 10% for tips and you will be able to establish that the waiter is probably earning more than $10.00 an hour. if a restaurant can establish than a waiter is making more than $1.90 an hour in tips the restaurant may reduce the minimum wage by the $1.90 an hour in tips. (since i eat in restaurants about five days a week these waiters are doing vey well for high school and college students.) i know from upscale restaurants that it is not unusual for waiters to earn more than $70,000 per yearDelete
these waiters are not going to give up a good thing.
please note that in restaurants it is difficult for waiters to hide tips since it goes on a credit card and on to their individual payroll
I don't know about that. You have to remember the restaurant is only 'busy' during peak hours and that means they're not getting 8 hours of this for 5 days a week. More likely 2-3 hours of peak tipping. It's hardly a $70k job. If it were, you'd see them driving much nicer cars and buying houses instead of sharing an apartment.Delete
Exactly!...When did the standard 15% for years and years become 20%??? Service people think way too highly of themselves and bartenders are the absolute worst. You get a dollar for shlepping a drink to me...two dollars if you talk to me...three dollars if you introduce me to a friendly conversationalist...five dollars if she's HOT. Most bartenders are clueless. I can stay home and drink for A LOT less if I wanted to BE ALONE and get drunk!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I tip my waiters, wherever I am, 15%. I am not a rich person and I do not see why it should become a burden on me to give more. I think that the the responsiblity of the owner of the establishment to pay his waiters and waitresses a better salary and not put the burden on his clients. His clients are the people that make his establishment successful.Delete
I feel bad for the staff, but nevertheless, I will not raise my tipping to more than 15%. I do not mean to be aggressive, I just feel that I too have hardships and I live with them. My salary does not go up just because the economy is bad. In fact I know some people, and a very good friend of mine that took a 10% yearly gross salary cut just so she would not risk the chance of losing her job. And from now on, I will be tipping before the tax is included. I agree with that thought. I am tipping the staff not giving more to the government that is taxing me already way over my comfort zone.
I never tip a straight percentage and always on quality of service. If the waiter is on top things and adds to the experience with knowledge, humor and care I'll tip as high as 1/3 of the bill. But at a few top restaurants where I've had waiters with big city attitudes who act like I'm a bother to them, serve stingy wine pours, or are unapologetic about screw ups, I have no problem leaving them a note on a $5 stating my reason objectively.ReplyDelete
We always leave 18% pre-tax on any meal no matter what.If the service is bad they will likely see it in a review I may post on a site like this one and never see us again.Word of mouth is another great way for people to be on the alert about bad service.ReplyDelete
TIPS SHOULD BE PRETAX AND NOT A STANDARD 20% UNLESS GREAT SERVICEReplyDelete
I would much prefer that the United States do what all other countries do, have the employers pay their staff a normal wage and also pay for their health insurance. To me, it is really wrong that staff are paid so little, have to depend on tips and don´t have any health insurance. Totally, totally wrong! I really don´t know of any other country that one have to figure out what a meal will cost by including such a high tip. It is should already be added to the bill as they do in other countries. Then, if you are really satisfied with the service, you add an extra tip to show your appreciation.ReplyDeleteReplies
Health insurance isn't in the bill of rights. Why do people think that? Owning a car, or a house isn't either. Health insurance is overpriced because of the unbroken ring of corruption between HMO's, lawyers, and pharmaceutical companies. They're all making a mint and instead of addressing THAT issue we just blindly demand that the US Tax payer fund this roman orgy. Ridiculous. Sorry for the rant, but I revert to original statement, healthcare and health insurance is not a right. I'm all for charitable giving to help those less fortunate, but it shouldn't be treated like a God given right.Delete
Sorry, if I get an attitude, bad service, cold food when it should be hot, really poor quality of food, incorrect order and no seemingly sincere apology and correction - you are NOT going to get a tip from me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Poor quality of the food has nothing to do with a waitress. Even cold food might have nothing to do with a waitress. All you are doing is looking for an excuse to tip less. So you want a waiter to make an apologize to things they don't control.Delete
Until this country begins to have fair wages for waitstaff, dishwashers, bus people and cooks, you should always tip. While some restaurants may be changing this and paying their staff better, most are paying the waitstaff as little as possible (like the above suggestion of $2.13 an hour) and then expect the rest to be paid in tips. Yes, "in this day and age so-on and so-forth" but we still have a lot of the same problems our grandparents and great-grandparents had. Tip your waitstaff.ReplyDeleteReplies
Agreed. I'm a good tipper and will usually even tip incompetent servers. When my friends ask why, I tell them that just because the server's probably not cut out for this line of work, they still have to eat or may have kids they have to support. I vote with my feet though and don't return to restaurants that continually deliver poor service.Delete
Service jobs are just that... service. If someone wants to work in a service industry, then their compensation should be based on the quality of their work. Tips are also considered somewhat of a "commission" on sales, since the more the server can suggestively sell, the more they make. If restaurants paid a salary, there would be less incentive for exceptional service... and even less incentive for suggestive up-selling. So the tipping custom benefits both the server and the restaurant - which is what you're going to find in a capitalist driven society.ReplyDelete
If restaurants had to pay higher salaries for the waitstaff, the cost of the food would have to go up. Either way, you pay for having someone serve you. Better to pay commensurate with quality of service than a "service fee" that's automatically built in.ReplyDelete
The whole system is awkward and geared to benefit restaurant owners on the back of their employees and customers. It differs from state to state but... Restaurants pay a minimum wage to their servers and in addition servers receive tips. Than on every paycheck, server's gross sales is calculated and their tip is prorated to a particular percentage. Many years ago, for what I know in my state, that figure was 6% which was reported as servers personal income and tax liability. In another word, regardless if you tip or not, server will pay the tax for your meal, because you paid for the meal. Government calculates figure of 6% knowing that some guests did not tip. Furthermore, servers share their tips with other members of the team, bus boys, bartenders, hostess...ReplyDelete
So every time you go to the restaurant, you are served by person with minimum wage, no health insurance and the one who will pay the tax on the price restaurant owner will receive. How bad that is?
In my mind, if I am unhappy with the experience at the restaurant, I should not pay the price of the meal, so that message goes where it belongs, not to the server. Unfortunately, expecting for this to be corrected, in U.S. would be too much. But at least, public should be informed how the whole system works so at least they could address their problems to the correct recipient, not to the messenger in many cases.
I don't recall any letter or government decree that increased the standard tip from 15% to 20%.ReplyDelete
For some years I have tipped 15% on the post tax amount and as restaurant prices have gone up so has the amount of the tip.
I will continue this practise until someone can give me GOOD reason why I should increase my tip from 15% to 20%.
Wow, it seems like a lot of people are angry about going out to eat and tipping.ReplyDelete
I was surprised that tipping car valets was not included in this article, especially since they are the norm at most medium-to-upscale dining establishments. I was annoyed that my husband recently gave a $10 bill to a valet for a $6 parking charge and said "keep the change" - that amounted to a 66% tip which I considered out of line. My general habit is $2 tip for valets for the most part and that's still a generous percentage if valet tips are based the same way. Are they? What do other people do?ReplyDelete
Let me begin by stating that I have been a restaurant employee for 10+ years. To those of you whose argument is that restaurant owners should pay their tipped employees a higher wage- that wage is set by the government. In order for wait staff to be paid a "living wage," the price of each of your meals would have to go up at minimum $5 per plate. To those of you who think that your server is in high school or college- where are you eating?! I am a professional server. That means that I have put a number of years into serving, plus I have educated myself on your dietary needs, and I can answer every question you may have about every ingredient in every dish you may order. I also can tell you about the region your wine came from, or the history behind it. You will never have to ask me for more bread, or more water, because I always bring it before you notice it's necessary. So, if you think all I do is bring food to your table, or put wine in your glass, go ahead, tip me 10-15%. If you have heard my message, thank you, and I will appreciate your 20% +. Happy Holidays.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pompus jackass, how about you fetch me another beer just shut your self-important oversized ego up!Delete
Math is easy, increase the prices by 20% and get that greedy low life owner to pay you ubove board the same amount you evade taxes on!
Stupid americans!
I work at Dennys so mostly elderly people who order off the value meal BUT i also wait on a lot of families. Now when i run my ass off and have 5 people and get 5 dollar tip its very frustrating. I work days so i gotta be quick and good. Never fails to piss me off when i hear how great i was and they leave a crap tip. Food took 30 min? Um i don't cook it they make the same no matter what, but did you see me go to the line ten times to check on your food or here me when j brought and i said we have long ticket times today? I'm good at my job i have to work days I'm a single mom plus I'm in a small town where chilis & the outback are about as fine dining as it gets. I love what i do been doing it for 20 years. That being said if you don't have the funds to tip eat at home or fast food. Tips are not extra money for severs its how we feed or children pay our rent. The couple bucks we make an hour that's gas to get to and from work! Tip or stay home! Suda Billinger out!ReplyDeleteReplies
Suda billinger, ur out of line... You don't like my 'crap tip' get a friggen real job!Delete
I'm not obligated by law to tip you anything... How about you tell me when I sit down how much I need to stuff into your panties to get a good atitude and pleasant and courteous service?
I live on the upper west side and have a 20 person buildingReplyDelete
house staff,how much should I give for year end gifts.
I tip during the year to handymen and plaster painter when
they fix something in my apt. $5-$10.
I agree on tipping based on pre-tax amount. I usually give 15% minimum unless service is really terrible. Why should we pay tips on a government charge? People need to think about that for a minute.ReplyDelete
A year and a half ago, a waitress at Nom Wah restaurant in NYC came after us and said we made a mistake and should tip based on post tax. After we stated that it's supposed to be based on pre-tax, she actually got nasty about it. Meanwhile, the owner, Mr. Tang, sat on the sidelines and never came to intervene. Suffice it to say, we have not been back since.
I usually leave more in the lesser establishments and less in the upscale ones. The reason is due to the unreasonable mark up on the wine at upscale places. The wait staff and chefs work just as hard at these smaller places but because the check is much less do not do well on tips.ReplyDelete
I just had to chime in to say that the acronym TIPS is not Tops in Personal Service, but To Insure Prompt Service. That's all.ReplyDelete
Thank you!
Tipping is so degrading, its like begging for your pay. Just pay us a real wage and tip for those moments of exceptionally good service.ReplyDelete
Thanks for commenting Billy, it really is a nice app, one that I use now for all of my IRC needs message goes hereReplyDelete

|Jacob Epstein Biography
|~back to authors profile on focusdep~
Sir Jacob Epstein (10 November 1880 – 19 August 1959) was an American-born sculptor who worked chiefly in the UK, where he pioneered modern sculpture, often producing controversial works that challenged taboos concerning what public artworks appropriately depict.
Epstein's parents were Polish refugees living in New York's Lower East Side, Manhattan. He studied art there as a teenager, sketching the city, and joined the Art Students League of New York in 1900. Then he worked in a bronze foundry by day, studying drawing and sculptural modeling at night. Moving to Europe in 1902, he studied in Paris at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts, where Auguste Rodin taught him. He settled in London in 1905, and after marrying Margaret Dunlop in 1907 he became a United Kingdom Citizen. Many of Epstein's works were sculpted at his two cottages in Loughton, Essex, where he lived first at no. 49 then 50, Baldwin's Hill (blue plaque on no.50). Despite being married to and continuing to live with Margaret, Epstein had a number of relationships with other women that brought him his five children; Peggy Jean (born 1918), Theo (born 1924), Kathleen Epstein (Kitty, born 1926), Esther (born 1929) and Jackie (born 1934). Margaret generally tolerated these relationships - even to the extent of bringing-up his first and last children. In 1921 Epstein began the longest of these relationship with Kathleen Garman http://epstein.3forming.com/Assets/Images/Gallery/itemGalleryFull/kathleen_garman_1921.jpg, mother of his three middle children, which continued until his death. Kitty married painter Lucian Freud in 1948 and is mother of two of his daughters. Margaret Epstein died in 1947 and after Epstein was Order of the British Empire in 1954 he married Kathleen Garman in 1955. The Garman Ryan Collection, including several works by Epstein, was donated to the people of Walsall, by Kathleen Garman in 1973. It is on display in Walsall Art Gallery.
In London, Epstein involved himself with a Bohemianism and artistic crowd. Revolting against ornate, pretty art, he made bold, often harsh and massive forms of bronze or stone. His sculpture is distinguished by its vigorous rough-hewn realism. Brilliantly avant-garde in concept and style, his works often shocked the general public. He often used expressively distorted figures, drawing more on non-Western art than the classical ideal. People in Liverpool nicknamed his nude male sculpture over the door of John Lewis Partnership "Dickie Lewis". Such factors may have focused disproportionate attention on certain aspects of Epstein's long and productive career, throughout which he aroused hostility, especially challenging taboos surrounding the depiction of human sexuality. Works condemned in his time as Obscenity and disgraceful today communicate thought and understanding. London was not ready for Epstein's first major commission — 18 large nude sculptures made in 1908 for the façade of Charles Holden's building for the British Medical Association on Strand, London (now Zimbabwe House) were initially considered shocking to Edwardian period sensibilities. However, the mutilated condition of many of the sculptures has nothing to do with prudish censorship; it was caused in the 1930s when possibly dangerous projecting features were hacked-off after pieces fell from one of the statues. Between 1913 to 1915 Epstein was associated with the short-lived Vorticism movement and produced one of his best known sculptures The Rock Drill. A commission from Holden for the new headquarters building of the London Electric Railway generated another controversy in 1929. His nude sculptures Day and Night above the entrances of 55 Broadway were again considered indecent and a debate ragged for sometime regarding demands to remove the offending statutes which had been carved in-situ. Eventually a compromise was reached to modify the smaller of the two figures represented on Night. But the controversy affected his commissions for public work which dried-up until World War II. Bronze portrait sculpture formed one of Epstein's staple products, and perhaps the best known. These sculptures were often executed with roughly textured surfaces, expressively manipulating small surface planes and facial details. Some fine examples are in the National Portrait Gallery, London. His larger sculpture was his most expressive and experimental, but also his most vulnerable. His depiction of Rima, one of author W. H. Hudson's most famous characters, graces a serene enclosure in Hyde Park, London. Even here, a visitor became so outraged as to defile it with paint. Epstein was one of 250 sculptors who exhibited in the 3rd Sculpture International held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the summer of 1949. Enthusiastic about his work, Epstein would sculpt the images of friends, casual acquaintances, and even people dragged from the street into his studio almost at random. He worked even on his dying day.
Selected major pieces
"A wife, a lover, can perhaps never see what the artist sees. They rarely ever do.
Perhaps a really mediocre artist has more chance of success." — Jacob Epstein "The artist is the world's scapegoat." — Jacob Epstein
