Hiking prices up 15% won't cover it. Tips give a waiter the opportunity and incentive to earn, at times, the equvilant of $25-30 an hour.

Now the question becomes, do servers deserve $25-$30 an hour? I don't think so. There is no way they deserve up to 5 times as much as a Tim Hortons, or MacDonald's employee, IMO
GQ as I said in the other thread, servers are REQUIRED at Earls (as an example), to give 10% of the cost of the bill back to the resteraunt. So if you didn't tip on a 120$ bill, the server pays the resteraunt 12$ on that bill - out of his/her own pocket. [/b][/quote]
Exactly the issue.

If I don't tip, (currently) I'm screwing the server, which is BS.

They're employed by the Restaraunt, they get paid by the Restaurant. It should be worked out entirely before I even enter the door.

Who's screwing the server here, the poor tipper, or the cheap restaurant?
