You know that restaurants already gouge the shit out of you on alcohol? Why should I pay 30 dollars for a 12 dollar bottle of wine and then have tip 20% on top of that.[/quote]

Because the cost you are paying for the wine goes to the establishment.  The tip goes to the poor schmoe who had the bad luck to be assigned to serve you.  You think that because the restaurant has a big markup on the wine that the bar and wait staff who pop an serve you the wine deserve nothing for their time and work.  Considering that they are paid below minimum wage because they supposedly make up the difference with tips, but you don't give them one, you are voicing your disapproval by punishing the wrong people.  If you really disagree with the pricing, don't buy the wine in the first place.  But once you decide to pay the exorbitant markup, then tip the staff who had nothing to do with setting the price on the wine.

Honestly, some of you are so chintzy.[/quote]

A-fricking-men.  If you can't tip a person who is serving you a meal that you didn't have to cook and don't have to clean up after, you are a stingy ass.  And you should just stay home and drink your own $12 bottle of wine.  [/quote]
