Supposedly TIPS = To Insure Proper Service.
But who knows if that acronym is really at the root.
If it were, then one would TIP prior to the Service,
in order to insure it...
but that is not normally the case.

A couple of years ago when business was really good, once a month, I would take the entire company out to the local ale house for Beers, Wings, and other food on a Friday afternoon to start the weekend.
The first thing I would do is pull out waitress aside and hand her $40 and tell her to make sure the crew has fun, don't let the beer putchers go empty.
It works like a charm and we get A+ service, Beer is always there and food comes out fast.
I usually tip her another 20 at the end this will end up being a 30%-40% tip.
Si, yeah, I have used tipping to insure good service by throwing the tip ahead of the service.
