No, cheap people that stiff waiters and waitresses on tips should be shot.

I'll admit that if a tip is MANDATORY it should be included on the bill - although, in every situation I have been in where it was, it has been.

But people that don't tip at all are a different story altogether. I always leave 15% if the service is adequate - 20% if I feel the service went above and beyond what was required. But if the service is acceptable and someone doesnt tip, I have a fucking tip for them - dont fucking eat out on the first place. I've never worked as a waiter, but people that stiff on the tip is still one of my pet peeves.

THank you , I have worked for tips and the number of times you get stiffed is amazing. You bust your ass for a party and then they stiff you on the tip. If they serve the food and seem aware I am there they get 15% ,they dont have to be my friend. If I get really good service then I tip 20-25% and then when I go to that restaurant they treat me like the owner because sadly as seen in some of these posts people suck by nature. I rarely get bad service because I treat the server as a person not my personal servant, so unless the kitchen screws up the service is fine.
