I have been in the restuarant business from end to end for 20 years. That is server and bartender. I also have cooked, managed and owned. I am really curiouse to hear why certain people don't tip according to current standard (20%), let alone the old standard of 10%. Not sure people realize that servers only make a percentage of minimum wage and have to claim tips as high as 8% on their total sales. This in turn, when somebody stiffs them causes them to lose money. If you have never served, you may not understand this.
