my wife used to be a waitress so its a sore subject for her when we talk about it. i dont like to tip but do it mostly because its customary. i'll tip 15% unless i have no complaints, then its 20%. its an industry that people go into knowing what they will be making an hour so its not like its a surprise. if they dont like it, go somewhere else to work. no other industry that i can think of "requires" their customer to help pay a salary.
ive tipped 10% or less on poor service because that's exactly what it should be based on...the type of service provided.
i go through the drive through at sonic just so i dont have to tip because its ridiculous to tip for someone to bring you a bag of food...once. if they were coming back again and again like in a restaurant, id give a real tip. otherwise, its drive through time.
