Tipping at restaurants.

i'm guessing you've never been a server in this country. they are typically "salaried" at 3$ an hour. they rely on tips.

We have also dropped friends (or at least going to dinner with them) who are bad tippers. Bad tippers are usually very selfish, self-centered people. They are more worried about their pocketbook/wallet than the wait staffs efforts/hard work. If you can not afford a decent (that's 20% in my book) tip you should not be eating out, except at fast food chains.

I had a friend who didn't tip or pay tax. She'd order something for $9.99 and leave $10. She claims to be a finance major. We're no longer friends.
