[QUOTE="slobster, post: 8356482, member: 6693711"] I agree with your entire take on this issue, though I will note that in California, where I live, minimum wage for servers is in fact the same as minimum wage for anyone else, between $13 and $17 depending on area and how large the employer is. I still try to tip between 18%-20% typically, assuming the service was good, because it's hard to live in my area on $13 an hour and I've been that server (actually back of the house, but still), I remember how hard it is to work with people who sometimes treat you like trash, and because it would be very rude for me to pretend the social tipping contract doesn't exist to justify wanting to save $4 on my meal. In my ideal world, I think I'd rather restaurants just raise their prices 18% and take the stress out of tipping, but I mean that's just not the world we live in and so I'd rather be slightly nervous and worried about my tipping amounts when I go out to eat than be a jerkhole to a human being who is just trying to make a living.
