You seem very concerned that lazy servers who don't work hard, don't get paid. But what if they get paid all the same? Instead of a server getting $5.00 less from you, every server in that restaurant gets 25 cents less? In other words, you aren't punishing them at all. They won't even notice the difference.

You have NO CLUE OF WTH you are talking about. At most restaurants, servers pay a tip out of *SALES*, NOT actual tips to the busser, bartender, and the host or hostess. So if someone doesn't tip, they *STILL HAVE TO TIP OUT* THOSE PEOPLE, meaning they *PAY* TO SERVE THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET.

"For the people who think that they should not tip then go to a fast food restaurant! As a server we have to tip out a percentage of every customers dinner to the bus boys. So not only are you ignorant but if you don't tip we are paying to serve you! "
That's just one example that I know what I am talking about. At most restaurants, the kitchen staff members aren't tipped out. At places like Hibachi, yes the chefs are tipped out, but the chefs are part of the service as well so that kind of restaurant experience is very different than other restaurants.
My main point is, I am not punishing "ALL" of anyone. I am only punishing my server if I get bad service and tip poorly or stiff, that's it.
