My brother always told me I undertip and my grandmother always tells me that I over tip. But then again, old people in general are shit tippers, so I just never listen to her.Old people are the worst tippers. They think it's still the 1950s and you can go buy a car with 2 nickels.

How are these kinds of extra money helpful at all when the restaurant could do what every other business does and pay their workers for working?Not to mention...Many times fast food workers deal with way more shit than waiters do. I mean think of all those poor McDonald's cashiers.

I would agree with tipping were it not so inconsistent. As the scene amiably points out, why do we feel the need to tip waiters, but not fast food workers, or anyone else in the minimum wage service industry? Also, if tipping is SO essential to the well being of these workers, how are businesses getting away with paying their workers below minimum wage? Especially seeing how strict and rigorous wage laws are in contemporary society.
I understand that in some places (probably all places) the servers are paid less than minimum wage and are expected to make up the rest on tips, but isn't that a kind of shitty and backwards thing to do? Why doesn't the business just pay the server a real wage and let the customers know that a tip isn't needed?
I'm a busboy, so of course I make sure that I tip (Or my family tips) on every bill in a restaurant.
