I worked at restaurants in high school: in the back washing dishes or making the food. I made minimum wage never saw a dime of tip money.

In my book, you have to provide some kind of service to get a tip.

My two dining experiences at Fogo de Chao (one in Dallas, one in Chicago) have been excellent. I gladly left hefty tips on large bills because the servers were almost psychic. I swear I rarely had to ask for something, and often times simply after looking around a server just appeared with the exact thing I wanted.
