    i've never been in a restaurant that didn't warn of a mandatory gratuity for parties of 8 or more.

    there's no telling how many times you've eaten contaminated food, because of your idiotic tipping policy

    The tip is not decided until after the service is provided, unless you pay up front, but the you are at Burger King and a tip is not generally given at fast food.

    One would only have to worry about it if they frequented the establishment more than once. As in stiff the wait staff on visit A and visit B might give you food poisoning or worse. It's disgusting and appalling but that's the reality.

    the explanation is your witless response and ignorance of the video evidence provided

    If employers paid a decent wage for a crap job there would be no need for gratuities.

    I did not watch video, I confess, video links are not supported on work computer. I guess that justifies rude responses. Its OK you did not know of that limitation.

    Yes. Paid well with free time galore. Get done what needs doing and able to respond to situations, good to go. And CNN is on as well.

    then you'd be paying 25% more...because you know the government has to get it's cut...and then you'd have indifferent service. with tipping, they at least have to pretend to care.

    Exactly. Not to mention that most wait staff would make less than they do now working for straight wages. Let's be honest, the only people who complain about leaving a tip are cheapo flakes.

    And you know this how? Waiting staff do a miserable, thankless job having to suffer whiny, rude, ignorant, demanding, arrogant and condescending dickheads, work unsociable hours and for little more than minimum wage-and let's not forget that there are slow times when they cannot rely on tips to make up their wages. I'd gladly pay more if I knew my waiter was getting a reasonable return for his/her work.

    Yeah, OK, what ever. Like you would actually know. I have a collage degree from a PAC 12 school, drive a nice car and live in good home, living the American dream that progressive leftist losers hate. So think what you like, I never care what MaO'Bama voters think anyway, especially since they are the real problem while I am a real American.

    Why would there be any more tax? "Gratuities" and "Service Charges" will already be taxed because they're go to profit for the restaurant, not the staff and wait staff are taxed on the actual tips they get (sometimes even if they don't get them!). We'll only pay more where this system is being used as a means of criminal tax evasion (which is hardly a positive thing).

    I also don't see why eliminating nominally mandatory tipping will reduce service. Indeed, some of the evidence presented on this thread and those like it suggest that anyone who dares not to "tip", regardless of the quality of service, stands to receive criminally dangerous treatment if they go to the same restaurant again. A system where a tip is, as it once was, a bonus for service beyond the basic expectations would surely encourage quality staff to strive for that level while bad staff won't do anything different regardless (except maybe spit in fewer meals).

    income tax. have you heard of it? right now, waitstaff is taxed on 11% of gross sales if you tip or not...because it's expected that you do...that's why i leave tips in cash even when paying with plastic.
