it's also not fair that a friend from college went to law school and became a successful scumbag lawyer driving F360, new M5, 2 NSX, supra, etc and bought his 3rd house this year.

BTW I tip because my family owns a restaurant and I've worked there as a busboy for several years during highschool. So I know the kind of crap people go through.
During the course of a 4hr dinner shift, you might get 1 customer who tips 20% but a bunch that tips 5% or no tip. Are they doing their job? yes, is it an easy job? certainly not, on your feet for 10-12hrs a day? I know I couldn't do it and I only did it for 4hrs at a time.
Finally I don't just blindly give 20% all the time, if I get good service I tip well, if not I don't tip well but I always tip. I've even praised waiter/waitress by calling over the manager/owner of the restaurant. In a job where you aren't appreciated very much at all and take the blame for the mistakes made in the kitchen, a little praise and a few dollar more in tip goes a long long way.

I'm gonna have to agree with the Mr. Burns attitude here. I can see a company giving a Christmas bonus to employees, but the rest of us working class people shouldn't be obligated to give seasonal tips.

Waitressing is one of those exceptions since they make less than minimum wage. But I don't think they should. If they were paid standard wages like everyone else then there would be no need to tip. It's not fair that an older woman that has been waitressing for 10+ years trying to support her kids would get less in tips than then the cute, brand-spanking new, 20 something waitress just because of looks.
