Unfortunately, there are people out there that are cheap and will never tip, and then complain or file a lawsuit when they get horrible service.

Except that that doesn't make any sense. Tipping doesn't guarantee service for you at any given visit, or it would be done up-front and thus, couldn't be done on a % basis. Only if you frequent the same place over and over and tip well to a given server will you get any benefit.

The problem are the folks that tip 20% religiously for good service or bad, and the servers that expect it and demand it!

Talk about a late comer! I had to look up my original comment because this posting was two months ago! Anyway, why doesn't my comment make sense? There are so many people out there that want everything for nothing and then complain when they don't get it.

I agree tipping for bad service only encourages it.
