Automatic tipping eh? Thats entire the problem im stabbing at. If the service is shite the you are not deserving of the $5.95/hr (or whatever minimum serving rate is) let alone deserving of a tip. A tip is a reward for good service. The idea is that it's postative reinforcement for a job well done. People in the service industry seem to get it into their head that its their god given right to mark up costs to compensate for the terrific job theyve done that nobody could do. Im sorry but we're talking about opening a beer and pouring it into a plastic cup. When im in a resturant I tip regardless... usually 10%. But if im impressed with the service then i'll be more generous.

Im curious when exactly was it carved in stone that i need to tip the useless bitch (and i use that term generically) that could not properly fulfill his or her service.
