[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t penny pinch on restaurant workers. I tip in thr total amount. I couldn’t tell you the last time I looked at the Tex line item. It’s irrelevant. I just take the total bill, figure out what 10% is and double it. Done. It I can’t afford an extra $5 then maybe I should be cooking hamburger helper at home. [/quote]

Exactly!  What's hard about this?  I really am saddened to learn there are so many cheap, nasty people who think it's their right to reinvent the restaurant industry by withholding a bit of cash from service workers.  I really don't understand why they even go to restaurants since they so strongly disagree with the system.  Just to punish people, I guess.

I'm not just referring to tipping on tax but to all these anti-tipping threads.[/quote]

I only tip 5-10% at D.C. restaurants because there is [b]already[/b] a 10% tax included. For any restaurant adding an additional service charge, I leave no tip at all and – usually – I’ll also complain about a dish or two until the manager removes them from the bill. I mean, 10% tax + 18% SC is [b]way[/b] more than the customary 15%. The greed in D.C. is unconscionable so I have no qualms about getting comped for a few appetizers or drinks. The entire system needs an overhaul. [b]Restaurant workers aren’t the critical pillars of society they make themselves out to be. They’re mostly peripheral and disposable people that otherwise add no value to society. [/b][/quote]
