[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1731804, member: 7488"] ^^ great post. For some of the people here bagging on the concept workers relying on tips as income: Isn't this the purest form of capitalism? Rather that paying them a regular wage, they are truly getting paid bu customer for their output? How is this wrong? I personally like the fact that I am empowered to reward good service, and penalize poor. To those who say they only tip 10% because meal prices have inflated, and the servers don't need more: Restaurant staff has to purchase the same things you do, subject to the same inflation. Your analogy of saying that 10% today is the same as 20% year ago is basically saying that you never need a raise to your salary, even for cost of living increases. You're being either myopic, or just an ass. To the guy who tips more than 90 cents on a 6 dollar meal: I agree and do the same. You get it. Bravo. I even tip servers a couple bucks on take out (10%ish) if they were friendly and prompt because they took time to get it all together and wait on me. [/QUOTE]
