[quote=Anonymous][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]

DP but it varies by location. Some get full scale wages plus tips, some get full wages plus pooled shared tips, some get wages and no tips allowed, some work solely on tips. It's all over the place, there is no standard. [/quote]
