Mandatory tips

1. If you wanted to guarantee "proper service" why would that transaction not take place BEFORE the serving of the meal?

2. If that were the case it would be TEPS.

I was taught when I was a Waiter:

TIPS- To Incentivize Proper Service

Obviously tip is a reflection of service, in the bahamas everything has gratuity added in and the service is absolutely terrible. When people add gratuity in to the check they only hurt their tip. I on average tip 20% if you kick ass and give me free shit Ill tip 30-40%

Last year, I had a friend from Australia fly in for my dads WW2 reunion. First thing he asked was "what the hell is this tipping crap??" Over there I guess they don't tip, but there are cans/jars in the restaraunts for those who want to.
Do believe in giving a tip per the service given, but to add 25% to the bill is bull.

I don't know about the Aussies, but europeans are the worst tippers I've ever seen haha.

In New Zealand waitresses make 18 bucks an hour to start and they don't get tips. They also don't refill drinks

They better be REAL fucking good waiters to get a 25% tip... On average I do about 15%, which is normally $6-8

This is even more of a reason to eat at home then to go out and eat.

Nuthin wrong with that man. 15% just fine. As a waiter I lived off of 15% customers. Without them the rent wouldn't have gotten paid.

I don't go out to save money. I go out to blow off some steam, drink a couple of beers, maybe razz the wait staff a little bit etc. They earn what I give 'em and they are always happy to see me.
