And the idea of penny pinching is very out of date when a penny won't buy anything. Maybe dollar pinching would make more sense in todays world. Penny pinching grinch, my great aunt Fanny! I say any restaurant owner who doesn't pay his employees a living wage so they need those whom they were hired to serve supplement 20% of their income is as mean as Ebenezer Scrooge. No one should ever be expected to tip. A gratuity is a "thank you" for going Above and Beyond expectations. It should not be a part of the bill.
I hate tipping. I think it is demeaning to the professionals who perform the many services where tips have become commonplace. Do away with tipping and let people be properly paid and be proud professionals, rather than charity cases living on other peoples pity.

I agree, but the restaurant industry is too greedy to abolish tipping.
