[QUOTE="cybrcatter"]If folks are too cheap to tip, then they should make their own damn food. Simple as that.

I know, you'd think that they'd pay for food or something. Oh, wait. I tip, but I resent the idea of tipping being almost mandatory. They're just doing their job. No one ever tips the janitor, or the teacher, or the consultant.

I always tip the waiter and delivery person unless the service was incredibly terrible.

The teacher and janitor are being paid a fair salary. For the waiter the tip is their pay.

I tip 10% giving at least one dollar and rounding to the nearest dollar after that.

Oh and hi ;)

Tipping a server is one thing but tipping the delivery man is questionable. Being that all they have to do is drive a vehicle and drop of the food. They don't have to do all of the BS that comes with being a server at a restaurant.

My sister is one of those people that ALWAYS complains about the service. It's never good enough for here. She doesn't want to tip.

Exactly, and that's a problem.

Also the teacher and janitor AGREE to work for salary without gratuities. The Waiters/waitresses agree to work for less than minimum wage and gratuities.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it illegal to pay anyone less than minimum wage? I thought that was kinda the definition.

Restaraunts are allowed to pay below minumin wage because it's assumed that the waiter will make more than that in tips. If it happens, however, that their tips add up to less than minimum wage the employer has to make up the difference. Even still, servers generally do a job that is, frankly, well beyond a minimum wage job. They should be compensated accordingly.

And those gratuities are decided by the customers. They will make at least minimum wage without tips from me.

Don't tip if you wish, but don't expect good service in return. Especially if you revisit places.

Why is that?
