"I only make 10% on my annuities so I'm not giving you 18%." and so on and so forth. I've never heard of such small-minded petty comments before.

I understand that some people don't believe in tipping and, I guess, that's up to them but to blame a server for the politics of a state or the general economy is just plain mean.
This posting makes me feel sad to find out there are people who punish servers for their distasteful mentality. Hopefully, they are in the minority and don't frequent our restaurants too often. If they can't afford to add a fair gratuity to their bill they shouldn't be eating out.
