Give me a good reason to tip waiters like mad so they can go home with triple the amount of what anybody else would make.

Are they forced to do this job? Is it hell on earth? Is it slavery?
No, its a job like any other job.
Did you tip anything while in Rio?

In Brazil our restaurants bill usually comes with "10% service tax". You pay it if you want. I always do. Very few times I tip more than that. It's not expected.

Do you give tips to the guys that install stuff like cable TV, telephone, etc? I gave R$10 (around $3.50) to the telephone guy and he was VERY surprised, heheh.
