[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tip properly but please stop telling people “if you can afford to eat out you can afford to tip generously”. Do you apply this thinking to everything? If I can afford to pay $25000 for a car then I can afford to pay $28000? [/quote]

If that additional $3k were going directly to the person who assisted you, and [b]that was built into their expected pay structure[/b], then I'd say if you can't afford the additional $3k, you can't afford the car.

Dining out is a luxury. In my city the restaurants are bursting to overflowing--with people who will tip. Don't take up space and time in a restaurant and then not play the game. [/quote]

But how am I supposed to know to know what their expected pay structure is?  Should they walk around with a sign?  [/quote]

But you do know the pay structure of waiters. That’s why we tip unless your hi k someone should serve you for $3/hour. [/quote]

At a table service, sure, I know their pay structure.  But what about Chipotle or a place where I order at the counter?  Or a barista?  [/quote]
