It's just tough shit if you are assigned a table that has 12 people sitting around it. Totally tough crap. If you want to get 15%, then just do the job, lol. If you can put 17% mandatory, then do it for ALL tables. And dont call it a tip because it's not a tip. I'm super simple to please on this shit. It's not a tip if you're forcing me to pay it. If I'm giving it to you when I do NOT have to, tada! It's a tip.
There's nothing to change. Waiters can tell off the bet who's going to tip what. Its called experience. Nothing has to with race or gender. Their fair wage is 15% on top of the bill, but there are those who think its way too much no matter how hard they work and what they do. You get 12 blacks on you side who ask for refills on their shirley temples all day long one after another, why the chicken fried steak doesn't have enough crisp, split a salad, some more bread, and fucking talk as if they are on runway of the airport. And at the end they ask for split checks and give you 11 dollar tip (one person will "forget" to leave their dollar thinking everyone else is going to cover that).
Now you see if this was typical diner, just that would constitute good service and automatic 15%. Its just custom! American custom. What you canadians or euros or ghetto citizens do is your own biz. But if you come here to the US, please observe our customs. Go fuck around with hookers in your red light district of Amsterdam and tell them you didn't like service and you're not going to tip.
