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.

Believe me... I'm not complaining about serving at all... I'm just *informing*. I would rather be serving tables than back at my old job of retail at Sports Experts anyday!!
