If your service is good, I MAY tip you and I may not, that is my CHOICE What a great attitude. Everyone should be required to hold at least one restaurant job in their lifetime. It's quite eye-opening. You're not being held hostage to anything, you're showing common courtesy. Would you rather serve yourself? Because if you "may or may not" tip even if the service is good, there'll be no more servers out there to wait on you.

"Everyone should be required to hold at least one restaurant job in their lifetime."

I held a job in a restaurant. I was a busboy in high school and my first year of college. I busted my butt while the waitresses claimed the tips. I never once saw a waitress lift a finger to bus a table, they always waved us over after they took the tip off of the table. The boss had an idea to pool the tips and give the busboys a percentage and the waitresses had a cow and the idea was scrapped.

And it's not "common courtesy", the waitresses are there to do a job and they get paid to do it by the employer. It's not my fault that the employer is too cheap to pay a good wage is it?

And most of the places I go to I usually go to the all you can eat buffets. All the waitress has to do is keep my drink filled and some of them can't do that right. I'm not going to be told I have to pay something.

Hahaha! At the restaurant I used to work at, we used to joke that it ought to be a requirement to graduate from High School to have one semester of service industry (restaurant) work before being released out into the "real world"! : )
