Sklar you took the words out of my mouth. People should have to earn their tip, I hate when you go out and are expected to leave a bigger tip at a nicer restaurant when the service is like exactly the same. The job of being a waiter is to take the order and bring the food. So when they forget stuff, that's not quite doing their job. Or when they don't write it down and then they forget stuff, its not like they really made an effort to remember it in the first place. I've worked retail for a while and whether I do my job poorly or if I go above and beyond, I never get a tip. We're even told not to take money if people offer it, which some actually do. So if your waiting my table and I leave anything you should be thankful, becuase a tip is extra. I tip well if I get good service, but if its a regular experience, I don't see why they deserve more than 10-15%.I'm actually getting to resent tipping.
No matter where you go EVERYONE expects a tip.
A tip = To Insure Prompt Service.

For instance, if a waiter has 4 tables, each table total is 40$, and every table leaves 10% thats 16$ plus the money they make, (~2.5) Thats like 10$ an hour which is pretty good. You can't expect to always make a huge amount. If you had been amazingly devoted to those tables you could've made 15% which would be another 20$. I worked hard for my hourly rate, so I'm not going to be wanting to give it up so willingly. remember that.
