[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 2754458, member: 8373"] I tip up to $5, pretty much standard, unless it is hibachi, then it's usually about 10. It has somehow become the responsibility of the patron to pay the hourly wage of the wait staff, when in reality, the workers should be paid a flat wage. The US is the only country in the world where mandatory tipping is standard practice. My point on tipping is this- just because the food is expensive does not mean the tip should automatically go up. If I order 5 $10 meals of 5 $30 meals, the service should be the same, period. Now if you bring 10 people to a dinner, the tip should be according to the service. Larger tables are harder to handle because it is 10 people all at once, which means more trips, more effort, etc. But if you put an automatic tip on the bill, then you piss me off. Tips are for quality service and should never be mandatory. I don't mind tipping, but when you force me to tip, I won't tip at all out of principle. For the record, when the kitchen screws up, I don't punish the waiter. Rant off. [/QUOTE]
