The newscaster on the far left is the only competent one in that room... The other guy is a fucking idiot saying that "they would have to pour my meal on my head for me to not tip" what a jackass

[BADDOOKUS]

Sounds like legalized extortion to me. The cops probably will start asking for tips too.

@theistus: This state made that behavior a crime. MANY states make it a crime to leave a restaurant without paying the entire bill.

[rowbot99]

WOW somewhere along the line people forgot what T.I.P.S. stand for !!!! FYI it's meaning in

To Insure Prompt Service... just saying

[theistus]

That would be a contract claim, not a criminal violation.

I won't pay tips, If bad service. Pay the dang people real wages . I have produced more food for a hungry world than 95% of people in world . No tips . Low wages in food processing industry . No really good mom and pop dining left to speak of . So screw paying TIPS . Diner owners pay better wages . charge higher pricies . I will not pay TIPs anymore . It cost me and wife $15 to eat at fast food . Who give better service and NO TIPS.

@lyniseloveschipper: Although I sympathize with much of what you say, people who don't tip do NOT honestly make someone pay to be your slave for an hour. That's like saying that failing to pay a kidnapper's demands causes the hostage's death. No, it is the KIDNAPPER who causes the hostage's death. Similarly, it is the RESTAURANT (etc.) that bears the ultimate responsibility for low pay for waitresses.

[lyniseloveschipper]

People dont seem to understand that servers make $2.00 an hour, which is usually taxed based on your overall SALES (Not Tips). Most servers get $0.00 checks and rely solely off tips. You have to give a part of your tips to the busser, bartender, and sometimes hosts. When people dont tip, you honestly are making someone pay to be your slave for an hour. If you dont want tip then get fast food, or carry out.

@Gabosity: My sympathies. I think waiters/waitresses are cheated in that way. Instead of paying $2 an hour, they ought to pay minimum wage and make up the difference in anticipated tips. For example, if minimum wage were $8.50 an hour, then the first $6.50 in tips would go to the establishment, and the rest would go to you and the busboy. That would encourage them to run a quality establishment, too.

As a former waitress I can't stand people who don't tip. People don't seem to get that waitstaff are paid LESS than minimum wage because they are EXPECTED to make up the rest of their income in TIPS. I worked for $2 an hour as a cocktail waitress. I had to split my tips with the bus boy and give 10% of my liquor sales to the bartender. I walked out after a 10 hour shift with $20 sometimes because of idiots who thinking tipping is voluntary. I tip 15% for ok service & 20%+ for great service.

@179178: No. They feel they are entitled to the tip because the customers AGREED in advance to pay the 18% tip for parties of six or more. Such a "tip" is effectively part of the price. If they thought the price was too high, they should have gone elsewhere.

If you had sued, you would have lost. The law is on the restaurant's side.

Save your arguments for restaurants that do not have a "mandatory gratuity".

[179178]

It's the entitlement mentality. They feel they are entitled to the tip just because they were there. Gratuity is used to give servers the incentive to give good service. If I were that couple, after I won that court case, I would sue the living hell out of the establishment for false arrest, harrassment, or whatever else my lawyer could come up with. A gratuity is voluntary, and I tend to be a big tipper, always have been, because it's a hard job, that pays under the normal minimum wage,
