But tipping for waiting services is not part of the “entitlement” mentality, it is part of our customs and the free market. Persons who work in restaurants make an hourly wage that is WAY lower than the minimum wage (about $2/hr vs. $7/hr) because it is anticipated that they will be tipped.

Amen, sister. I made something like $2.38/hr when I waited tables. It was just understood that you made your living through tips. When a customer didn't understand this we just figured they were Democrats or were raised by wolves.

I’m seeing some very bad attitudes after this election, people saying they will never give to charity anymore, this stinginess with some waiters.....

I’m very depressed.
