I hate working in restaurants.

If you don't tip 15+% to good service, you can GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Yours truly,
Mbsurfer

That will depend on the number times you offer to refill my coffee

Six is my new benchmark. ^
Regardless I always do. Sums vary, and to hell with percents.

There should be a generic service charge/gratuity for ALL guests. Not just parties of 6 or more. It's not fair on the workers or the guests to rely on how generous the guest is feeling. If the guest feels like the server did an exceptionally well job then they can feel free to tip on top of the gratuity, if not, then so be it.

If you work for less than minimum wage, you only have your stupidity to blame.

I work at $2.13 per hour. But my paychecks usually have big red letters on them that say "THIS IS NOT A CHECK" because tips are taxed (thanks 'merica) and I make enough in tips to completely cancel out my paychecks.

There is a difference between minimum wage and waiting/server wages. If you are waiting tables, they don't pay you minimum wage because they know you will make up for it in tips (most of the time). If you don't make up for it, they are required by law to pay you at least minimum wage. However, some states in the US actually pay minimum wage PLUS tips, like Montana. It is sweet. :)

In the UK everyone gets minimum wage, all tips are extra and untaxed. If you get less than minimum wage you take them to an employment tribunal and sue their asses.

I dont see how minimum wage can be called minimum wage if you are legally allowed to pay someone less.

Yeah, but what's that after the conversion to US? Nevermind, that's about $9.75 USD after it converts. I was hoping to have some sort of valid point here, but I thought I'd share it regardless.
