The last time I encountered this there were 8 of us, it took a very long time to get our food, it was cold, no drinks were brought at a constant interval And yet I found an 15% tip automatically added to my bill

Too bad for her, just because you're a server doesn't mean you need to make 30-40 an hour because of tips

Tips are just that. A tip. I'm not sure that if it would wind up in court, LEGALLY you could sue for a tip. It is up to the individual how they felt about their service. If they wanted to tip nothing, that would have to be O.K. too. I doubt if I would ever do that, but legally....?

My girlfriend was a waitress, and her hourly pay was 2.25 i think.. So i think 15-20 percent is fair considering he stated that he eats by himself. so its not like its even that much money anyways.

Another note, we all have Mastercraft boats. you wanna b!tch about something? go ask your dealer why the prices go up 6-8 percent per year, and NOT b!tch about tipping >20 dollars at a restaurant..

I never said that I didn't tip, my point is that they EXPECT IT REGARDLESS OF SERVICE RENDERED

I could give a flying rats you know what, why Mastercraft raises their prices that much every year, it doesn't affect me at all

Good Service = Good Tip

Crappy Service = Crappy Tip

I think its pretty easy.

They expect it because it's how the get paid. Think they can live off 2.25 an hour? No.
