Colb suggested instead that a uniform percentage “gratuity” be charged with each meal.

Yeah, because price fixing works so well and all.

I pay tips purely on quality of service. Many cute, young waitresses have received paltry tips from me because they were inattentive or rude.

Some of the highest tips I've given were to excellent male servers.

Shouldn’t the out-of-shape waitresses be able to compensate for their lack of looks with their increased knowledge of dessert trays?

Same here.

I love shapely women, and have the same sort of stimulus-response attraction to them as the next guy, but if a waitress doesn't actually earn a tip from me, she doesn't get one. Period.
