I am a waiter and have been for 5 years, I get paid 2.83 by the restaurant i work for. Thats a standard in PA, they pay us that much because they like to assume the guests that come in are half-way decent people and may tip correctly. Waiting on people is my job and I do it well. How you tip says A LOT about the type of person you are and how cultured you are. I was surprised to hear all the jerk-offs in this thread saying they tip 10% or less, or if there is automatic gratuity on the check you have it taken off and leave nothing. You must be the inner city scum that i have seen at red lobster at 10pm.
no tipping is not mandatory, it is a courtesy, but people rely on those tips for income and i guess some people just don't care.
I know there are servers out there who honestly don't deserve a tip, and that sucks because it makes the whole industry look bad.
If you get bad service and they deserve a shitty tip then give them what they deserve.
But for those of you that just don't think tipping is right, or leave bad or no tips out of spite. Thats just proof of having no class and a complete disregard for your fellow man
