I do not tip if the service is lousy. It is a TIP. It is not part of the price listed on the menu and it is to my disgression what I may wish to pay above and beyond that. I have left pennies before when the service is not up to par and I want them to know I didn't "forget". I hope these kids prevail.

Move to Europe. People are PAID a regular salary to wait tables. Tips are minimal at best and are UNEXPECTED. Meal prices are comparable to what we have here in the states.

I hate the whole tipping concept. Management should pay people what they are worth. Period.
