Tipping is stupid. why the hell would we have to add an extra 15% to the bill? the cook gets paid, the waiter gets paid, the dishwasher gets paid, the owner GETS PAID! 15% is too much, thats almost 20%... what the hell? i remember when i was 12 years old, me and my 2 brothers were eating fish and chips, and the waitress (not hot) just stood there not saying anything until I put $2 on the table, and I needed that god damn $2 so I could afford the sales tax on yugioh cards after. how did it get so bad that you have to look like a douchebag if you dont put money on the table when you leave?
Tipping as a rule is stupid in my opinion. Tipping for exceptional service however makes sense to me. Where I live (New Zealand) tipping is pretty rare. People only seem to do it when the service is really good, if that even.

There are a lot of waiters whodon'tdeserve any tip but I'm obligated because you bring me food? You're just doing your job, piss off.

You aren't obligated. If the service is bad, don't tip. If I get a waitress who only takes my order and brings me my food and isn't seen again beyond that, they aren't getting a tip from me.
I don't understand why they can't just give waiters minimum wage and then have the customers give them tip if they were courteous enough.

That probably should be the way, but the way it is set up now I believe tries to maximize the profits for the restaurants. If they had to pay the waiters more, menu items would cost more, I believe

I think you are, because it's part of their wage, but to be honest, I've never tried or seen anyone not give tip and catch trouble for it.
I think what I hate most about tipping is that it's based off a percentage. A $100 meal doesn't take any more effort than a $5 one. The tip shouldn't need to be higher because of the cost of the meal.

When I tip I don't view it as an obligation (in reality it isn't an obligation, more of an expectation). I see it more as a reflection of the service provided. The only time I don't leave a tip is if I was largely dissatisfied with the waiter/waitress. With that said I generally tip 95% of the time.

You aren't. And it's part of their wage to a point. If they don't make at least minimum wage, their employer has to bump their pay up to it. I don't mean to come off like I'm not a tipper. I tip 95+ percent of the time. I'm just not afraid not to tip if the service sucks

you know what , red lobster imposes the worst form of tipping any where, --- forcing you to pay 10-20 percent for tiip that is added to the bill instead of you basing off the service actually provided say if the server hardly did any thing she should be paid accordingly but if she gives you refills every time you asked or even better just came to the table and willingly said sir can i get you another pepsi , --thats the kind of waitress/waiter i believe deserves that ten percent , ,
not red lobsters half the time im at red lobster they do not even hardly come by my table lol
The idea that I'm going to give extra money to a person for performing their job as they should be is outrageous. Unless they do something that warrants it, like constantly refilling water or bread without needing to ask for it, then I would consider it. But no, just because you took my order, put it through and delivered it to me with or without a smile doesn't warrant me paying you personally for servicing me when I could have been anyone and IT IS YOUR BLOODY JOB TO DO SO.

Lol, ****ing scrub.
Waiter's get paid $2-3 bucks an hour. Their livelihood depends on tip. Imo if the service is nonexistent, you're obligated to pay at least 15%. I tend to leave 20% as long as the service is mediocre. But that's probably because I'm not an ignorant ass like you.
