The don't tip/do tip argument is crazy. Service should ONLY be tipped according to the quality given. You get a teeny basic wage because doing your job well makes it pretty decent via tips. If you do not do your job properly then you deserve almost nothing.

An example - take any comission based sales job. If you don't go out there, do your job well and sell shit you earn nothing and don't eat. Why on earth is the same not true of waiting staff? The way they are paid, their job and their earnings are related to the service they give, so reward them accordingly. Those that can't be bothered to do their job deserve little or nothing much as the bad sales guy does.

Bottom line is if you are incapable of doing your job well then you should not be doing it and should certainly not be earning well from it. Those that do a decent job should be rewarded accordingly. It's how most jobs work one way or another i.e. those that perform are rewarded accordingly be it via commission, bonuses, promotion or in this case tips.

As for the original poster it's been said - what an idiot. Knocking the 'obligatory' 20% off in the first place was dumb but then to publically name and attempt to shame the guy on a adult forum...

I wonder how many links to this thread the guy who runs the restaurant has been sent by now? Hope the OP didn't like his waiting job there.
