Just a few insights for everyone complaining about tipping:

Waitstaff/Barternders have to claim a miniumum of 8% of their sales as reported taxable earnings. So if a table of 10 people come in and eat and run up a $800 bill the government assumes the waiter made at an 8% tip requires them to pay income tax on 8% of that $800 bill or $64. So that is the main reason that mandatory tips of 18% are added to parties over 6 people... so the waiter doesn't get screwed by a bunch of people who usually want seperate checks and a typical shitty tippers whether the service is good or not.

Tipping is only mandatory on parties of 6 or more in the US. Why is everyone from outside the US saying that there system is better with a surcharge added???? This is the same as added grautity.... so in reality you are tipping whether the service sucked or not no matter how many people are in the party. How is that better than optional tipping?

When you go out to eat and your service didn't meet your expectations I.E. food to a long time, messed up order, etc.... don't assume it was your waiters fault and be a dick and don't tip. There are 100's of reasons in a restaurant that can be the cause of these problems all out of the control of your waiters hands and believe me when these things happen your waiter is generally just a frustrated as you. Ask to speak to a manager and get a discount on the bill.... but tip your waiter on the full price.

The only time you should never tip a waiter is if they are rude to you personally. Their attitude is the one thing that they can control.

If you are a cheap fuck and don't believe in tipping... and stiff your waiter or bartender.... they will remember you if you ever come back, and believe me all of the other staff will also know who you are and you will from then on out get shitty service, no one will want to wait on you and you might just get some suprises in your food or drink... haha be careful.
