1) If you get shit service, you have the option not to tip.

2) If tip was included in the prize, almost nobody would tip.

Basically, seems like a decent solution for performance based pay. Of course, it does have it's weaknesses.. people like me adjusting the tip to minimize loose change rather than to the actual service level for example.

Tipping is a completely foreign habit for me	DurNominator(VIP)	December 30, 2009 04:38AM
Tipping is practiced throughout the USA. I was talking about people just being nice for a tip (n/t)	rathamon	December 30, 2009 07:32AM

Are you seriously arguing about the quality of food as compared to England?	jegec	December 30, 2009 12:36AM

The problem is "server's wage".	Splntrd	December 30, 2009 07:35AM
Re: The problem is "server's wage".	rathamon	December 30, 2009 09:33AM
My problem with server's wage isn't that servers don't make money or shouldn't be tipped.	Splntrd	December 30, 2009 09:39AM
I think the real problem is that tips are taxed. (n/t)	madcap	December 30, 2009 05:13PM

Yeah, my math is always fishy. (n/t)	madcap	December 30, 2009 06:10PM
Not exactly how it works in my understanding.	bell	December 30, 2009 09:16AM

Sure, but, the way it ACTUALLY works in most places is a little different...	Splntrd	December 30, 2009 09:29AM
So, if I can't afford a tip I shouldn't go out to eat, period? NT	Batman	December 30, 2009 09:25AM
Exactly right.	bell	December 30, 2009 10:40AM
I'd rather tip the chef, or someone doing ACTUAL work. NT	Batman	December 30, 2009 11:54AM
Chefs make enough that they don't need your tip. Nothing under a 50 will excite them. n/t	Someone Not Special, Esquire	December 30, 2009 10:30PM
So it doesn't matter that the chef is doing something useful, or the harder work of the two.....	Batman	December 31, 2009 06:31AM
Except the chef doesn't have to put up with your cheap ass.	madcap	December 30, 2009 05:22PM
Neither does the waiter. They don't have to 'deal' with me. The chef has to meet my idea of 'good food'. The waiter carries it. WOW. nt	Batman	December 30, 2009 05:30PM
ADDENDUM: I learned, from this thread, there are many waiters who play CF. NT	Batman	December 31, 2009 06:24AM
You get to choose between toning down the trolling and a ban.	DurNominator(VIP)	December 31, 2009 09:32AM
Lame. (n/t)	bell	December 31, 2009 10:49AM
That pisses me off. I spent time on that. NT	Batman	December 31, 2009 09:48AM
Think about that the next time you think of repeatedly calling people faggots with no real input. nt	DurNominator(VIP)	December 31, 2009 11:07AM
Did you miss the joke? NT	Batman	December 31, 2009 01:00PM
Didn't read it all carefully.	DurNominator(VIP)	December 31, 2009 01:27PM
That's fine. BUT ADMIT IT WAS HUMOROUS. NT	Batman	December 31, 2009 02:23PM
It wasn't humorous at all. Stupid â‰ funny. (n/t)	Starscream	December 31, 2009 03:06PM
I can tell right now its people like you that make the service industry stressful.	madcap	December 30, 2009 05:32PM
Well, at least not at places you should tip. Go to Mickey D's. Or your mom's house. (n/t)	bell	December 30, 2009 10:58AM
For a tip drill. nt	Flipside Oreo	December 30, 2009 02:10PM

Easy fucking job, low fucking pay. NT	Batman	December 30, 2009 12:04PM
Uhm. I've never seen anyone tip the bag boy at a grocery store. No wonder they wanted to help you put it in your car.	PaulO	December 29, 2009 08:40PM
If they're part of the union (and most are) it's against the rules to take tips as a courtesy clerk n/t	Lokain	December 30, 2009 09:59AM
