[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 579562, member: 259"] I guess I should clarify: both the consumer and the vendor know that the following is expected: 1) Vendor (via waitstaff) provides courteous, efficient service. 2) Vendor provides food. 3) Consumer pays for food. 4) Consumer pays (via tip) for courteous, efficient service. A consumer isn't normally forced to pay for the service, but he knows that it's expected of him. If he accepts the service and doesn't pay for it, he's being a tweaker. Of course, if he doesn't receive courteous, efficient service, then the implied contract is already broken, and he doesn't need to pay for it. That's why you don't need to tip a rude server. (And DragonGirl, you may want to reread the last paragraph of the Snopes article: at this point, Domino's has no connection to right-to-lifers at all, despite their indirect association in the past. If you understood that, however, never mind :) ). Daniel [/QUOTE]
