Tipping is a gratuity not a requirement. We should tip when we feel it is deserved not when someone else in society says we have to. If we have to then make it part of the bill. I generally tip 20% for full service but I rarely tip for takeout such as Chinese or pizza. Ice cream I usually put in a buck. But it's what I want to pay not what u decide I should pay. That is unless u want to give me some of your money ur so generous with? And yes my children have worked restuarants and they have to split the tips amongst everyone including the cooks. I have been told by all the conservative tea party people that if I don't like what I get payed or the benefits(lack of ) then nobody forced me to work there so I should go get another job. Then I guess their advice is good for rveryone else too.
