At a Chicago pizza restaurant in the 70′s a group of my friends use to go to almost every week the waitress refused to serve us till we gave her a tip in advance, because someone else in the group left her a bad tip when they were there, I refused and left and never returned telling all my friends who never visted again either.

Sounds like a bunch of selfish waiters are answering this comment. Notice how everyone keeps saying you better tip well if you want good service…it’s a bunch of BS!! There should not have to be a damn money incentive for you to do your job!! Everyone else doesn’t get tipped to do their job efficiently. -and don’t complain that your salary is too low- YOU PICKED THE JOB!!!!!

The way I see it, If you don’t like what your getting paid to to school and don’t complain. Not every one is able to give a tip. So, If it’s better for people to come and eat, even If they can’t tip. what if all the people stopped coming to eat at the resturant, then waiters or waitress would even have a job. Besides, I think the chef’s should get the tip.

I too hate the idea behind tipping. Also why do you have to tip a percentage? If I can afford an expensive bottle of wine 15% is a lot to open and pour. Wouldn’t the waiter be doing the same if someone ordered a $5.00 bottle…open and pour.

The same goes for the price of the dishes. What is on my plate should not be the deciding factor for how much the waiter should get.

I think tipping should have a fixed dollar amount per person and not the price of what my order is.

I have been a teacher for 35 years. Cookies candles, ornaments, gift cards for teaching supplies are good for a beginning teacher. But after a few years, these things pile up. A better idea, is gift cards for restaurants etc.

Everyone who works a legitimate job in this country should be entitled to minimum wage; this includes waitstaff who are typically paid 2-3 dollars below minimum wage by their employers. I grew up in the food service industry and my children work in restaurants.

When I eat at a restaurant I expect to tip 15%. However this may go up or down depending on service. Fair service will get 10%–Great service 20% or more. As far as not tipping this is rarely acceptable. The service at my local Walmart is extremely poor, and I don’t get a discount there. Why should a restaurant be any different? I can only recall not tipping twice, both times the service was poor and the wait staff rude. Not only did I not tip I spoke to management about why I would not be tipping.
