When did this system change into something other than what it originally was? It didn't change in Europe, at least in parts I've travelled to where you put down a single Euro as a tip and the staff shakes your Hank thankfully. When did it change here into a system to bolster up the salary of underpaid staff and if you didn't or perhaps came from Europe like my girlfriend and didn't understand, were called cheap?
A tip was always a tip for good service....not something automatically expected....and btw....we are generous people with good hearts, just having a problem with this thread.

Himand Me: I agree with you 100%. However it seems our society has been compromised by rickeyD's The Dangerfield Effect"", "America's Entitlement "Mentality" or "Customer Guilt"
tipping should be made commensurate with performance
The push by government/unions in minimum wage, regulations is pushing restaurants to invest in better technology .
I personally would rather order from a tablet and have a robot bring my order to the table
Naw I'm kidding I missed the human interaction
