[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Maybe you should think about how in Europe, where there is no tipping culture, these same people would have a short commute, better home, better schools for their children, and free health care.[/quote]

And, if they want that, they are free to move.  Not my problem if they don't.  [b]A 15% (10-20%, depending upon service quality) tip is standard in the US.  Like it or not.[/b]

[quote]Today a $100 bill your $20 dollar tip on Amex by the time you remove all the credit car fees, payroll taxes, some place they give a cut to bus boys and hostess your 20 percent tip is 10-12 percent. [/quote]

Credit card fees cannot legally be deducted from tips (the business has to eat that).  All tips are taxable.  So, your first two arguments are moot.  I believe that many restaurants have (always had?) a policy of sharing tips with the non-waitstaff.  Not sure of the history of that, however.[/quote]

You can repeat this as many times as you like, but unless you’re posting from 2010, you’ll still be wrong. Like it or not.[/quote]
