I actually can't believe the government allows tipping. All of that money that changes hands, and the government never sees. They're losing a whole lot of tax dollars there.
I think tipping is wrong. It's a way for restaurants to pass off expenses on to the public. Also, because I'm a cheap bas**rd when I eat out, the waitress will know before hand that I'm not going to be a huge tipper. I don't order wine, I usually order the cheaper stuff on the menu, and there are other signs that I'm a cheap bas**rd, so when the waitress figures out that I'm not a big tipper her service will usually slide. I still give my 15%, but the waitress doesn't know that until I'm gone.
I wish I had a job where I was given rewards every time I did my job like I was supposed to. My only reward right now is that I won't get fired. That's good enough incentive for me. Why can't it be good enough for waiters?
