The government should get off its ass and revoke the laws that permit these cheap fuckers to pay people less than minimum wage. I mean it, eating out ain't exactly inexpensive and it sucks to also have to make up for the fact that the cheap son of a bitch who owns the place won't pay a decent wage. Next thing you know, I will have to start tipping the rude fucking checkout girl at the grocery store. Fuck.

I have a bit of a problem with "expected" tips, even if the service sucks. But as far as tipping goes, I think it is a good custom. When I was a waitress/bartender, it used to make me motivated to know that the better job I did, the more money I would make.
Of course my best tips were kind of unexpected and nothing really to do with my service - like my regular customer who would always tip in lottery tickets and once I won $1000 (and he was such a sweetie that he totally refused to take his share). And that guy who played (still plays?) Cass Winthrop on Another World who tipped 100% ($200 on $200) for no reason at all. (Maybe he mistook my "who are you - I know you from somewhere" stare as deep concern for his well-being or something - in any event, it was much appreciated).
