Sure, some people are just cheap, but do they really deserve that? Some people just dont know that you have to give a percentage other staff. Either way, anyone who does something so immoral, i wish a slow painful death upon. Scumbags What kind of piece of shyt messes with someones food/drink for a reason like that?

If I only get 3-5 hours at work that surely does not mean my pay would go up. If you are getting to few hours then you need to get another job. that is far from the customers problem.

It does take the awkwardness out of it but it would be nice to see it go straight to the staff tax-free.

The $2.13 / hour is just the minimum standard the Goverment requires so that your paycheck contains enough money to cover the taxes and FICA needed to cover your real income - your tips!

It's the sad truth. There's not reason not to leave at least a little tip. 10% always makes me happier than the next table that leaves nothing.

We fight over who has to take the lousy tippers and who gets to have the good tippers. All service was not created equal. If you are known as a bad tipper among the staff, your service will not be good. On the other hand, if you are known to be a generous tipper, free drinks, discounts, ect. are most likely to be given to you. And yes, servers do not like getting foreign customers at all.

You should follow our tipping customs when over here and we should follow your tipping customs when in England. In other words, you should tip at least 15% for good service in the states and it seems that we should tip 10% or less while in England, or do people tip at all in England? I remember when I was a teenager in Germany my parents tried to tip a waitress at a nice restaraunt and she was offended. She stated that she got paid enough already for her job! My youngest Son works at P.F. Changs and called me a cheap skate because we only tipped him 15% the other day. Sorry, but 15% is my limit for a high-end meal. Consider the fact that prices increased at least 20% over the past three years which means that servers got at least a 20% pay raise, assuming everyone still tips the same percentage! Paul,
