You're going to pay the waiters anyway; either you'll tip (in which case you can decrease or withhold the tip if service is bad), or you'll pay an extra 15 or 20 percent for everything on the menu regardless of the quality of service.

Yeah, but I resent having to tip. I do tip but resent the heck out of it. I'd much rather have the extra included in the original price. It shouldn't be the customer's job to evaluate the waitstaff. I go out to eat and expect the owner to have already pre-screened his employees willingness to give good service, if he wants return business. It shouldn't be the customer's job to evaluate the waitstaff. Most go out to have a nice relaxed evening but how many times does it turn into who's going to pay the tip, how much, or gripe because they didn't bring you water before you had to wave them down, blah, blah, blah so you're stressed out again. Just pay the staff a decent wage and fire them if they screw up just like in any other industry.

If the prices are too high then I stop eating there. If enough people foloow suit, then the company is out of business. Restaurants come a dime a dozen, customers may not.
