FIFY.
And I respect your opinion, I just don't agree.

Food servers get paid very well considering the the job.
Truth be known they're probably pulling in $20 to $25 an hour, and because most of them don't declare all tips on taxes, that is probably closer to $30 an hour.
Pretty good money for a job most high school girls could do with 4 hours of training.
A difficult job that almost anyone can do is not worth much $.
A hard job that only a very few can do well is where the $$$$ is.
Supply and demand.

And again, people in this thread are demonstrating the attitude that a big tip is DESERVED, and not leaving a big tip is punishment.
That simply is not the case.

A tip is a REWARD for exceptional service. It is something extra that has to be earned.

If the service is not exceptional, then no tip is earned or deserved.
