Ok so I'm an ex waitress.And I understand cheap tips and stiffs if the service sucks.But I have a very hard time understanding it if the service is good.So why do people do this for no reason.It is my opinion that if you wan't to dine somewhere that has servers who make about 2.00 an hr. most of there pay is in tips,and you can pay a 25.00 and up for a meal,than you can afford to leave a decent tip.If you can't you should go to mc'donalds where they make 8.00 an hr. and you can eat cheaper too.I have also noticed that some people only hit a clssier resturant if they have a coupon to get something free, and half of those people don't tip.

people are just cheap... Some people are very stingy with their money and will only tip if they feel like it. Also it is easy to blame something other than the service for not tipping, for example saying that the food was too expensive for its quality. I personally tend to tip more than the norm is. I tipped 40% today (on a 10$ bill) because it was my birthday and the server gave me a free california roll (i am a local at the restaurant too and usually tip 20% or so). One of my goals in life is to tip the pizza man 100$, i just want to make someone's day
