Thanks. According to Federal law, restaurant tips are the sole property of the server, not people who work in the kitchen. The quality of work by the kitchen staff is controlled by management. I normally leave a 20 percent tip to the server. But, if the server provides lousy service, I don't leave any tip. I think that sends a clear message to the server.
