This. Articles like these are really just a way for people to feel superior to "celebrities."

You mean more than the negative press to which you linked, and to which that article referred?

Just curious -- why do you tip up to 30%? I mean, that's great if you want to do that, but that's quite above the standard, and I hardly think someone should be criticized for leaving a standard tip.

don't and I never will. They should consider themselves lucky that I chose not to tip rather than speaking to a manager. |
I leave something, but it's a token something so that the terrible server can't just say "well, he forgot." And I speak to the manager.
Personally, I wish Americans would just do away with the tipping system -- I'd much rather restaurants just increase the price of the meal to cover it or include a service charge -- but it'll never happen.
