This entire thread is repulsive to me. Apparently, we live in a country where employers expect their customers to pay their employees, and employees who expect the customers to supplement their income with tax avoidable cash income. We should expect and demand that employers pay fair wages and that employees be competent and assertive enough to demand a fair wage. Tipping should never be automatic and should only be done when an employee does something that goes beyond their normal service responsibility. Neither employers nor employees should expect customers to give tips.
