In a more perfect world IMHO restaurant staff would be paid at least minimum wage and expected to give good service as though the worked for an establishment that cared. The onus should not be put on the customer and the customer should be free to tip according to their conscience and means. The customer should not be berated on forums like this or get snarky remarks because he has differing opinions. Yes, cost of eating out would be more expensive....or would it? I think the staff would be better off, certainly the customer would be happier and the owner wouldn’t be put upon because, as we know, the difference is made up in the price of the meal.
I love honest debates and listening to other’s ideas and how they differ but I really detest how some use an opinion to attack, directly or on the sly another person when they post from their heart, thankfully it’s only a handful of them.
