WRONG! Big time!!
The "tip" or, more properly, gratuity is a gift of appreciation to the server, and no one else, for their attention and service. Maybe, to circumvent your larcenous suggestions, customers should tip via check, in a sealed envelope with written instructions to open at a later time in the presence of their attorney.
