"i don’t eat anywhere where the place sets a minimum mandatory tip."

Yes. I agree. For those dirtballs that say: "Well, the management should just PAY the staff more."

If they paid the staff more, guess what, your $20 steak will be $30. And the service would stink, because there's no incentive to be attentive.

"Here's ya steak, enjoy"

Forget about refills, check-backs, pre-busing, politeness, etc.

I tip well, because I WANT good service.

If I wanted shitty service I'd head for Burger King.

if you want a decent hot sandwich shop find a “Potbellies” around where you are. way better than fast food but decent prices, no tips, can get stuff to go.
