Francie, You are right! However I go to 15 to 20%. Redwitch is right, there is work involved for these people and they need to be compensated. Tips are a major part of restaurant workers incomes and are recognized as such by the IRS. They are different from fast-food places that fall under minimum wage and to laws. As I read this, I am reminded why Villagers have the reputation, well deserved, of being lousy tippers. If you cannot afford to tip, you should stay at home and prepare your own food. BTW, your pizza delivery guy/gal should get at least five bucks, IMHO.
