I'm not a very good tipper.. probably because I also work in the service industry (just not the food service industry) and rarely ever get tipped, even if I go totally out of my way and give amazing service. I guess that experience has marred me :P
I tip a fair amount when service is good, if service is bad then there's no tip.. Although I also disagree with the "punishment" of no tip. If a server gives terrible service, is rude, whatever they dont deserve a tip, but they ALSO deserve a complaint.
Not trying to start a fight with food service people, but there are many minimum wage jobs that you have to work just as hard at (or harder) that people do and never get tipped. Also note that my perspective is based on the fact that in SK everyone has to make at least minimum wage (hence the term "minimum").
And one more thing.. making the servers pay for the bills of deadbeat dine-and-dashers is total bulls***. The company makes more than enough to allow for general loss.. but then again I'm a union man so I dont have to put up with any s*** like that.
