..on part of the bill? I haven't been stiffed often, but it happens to the best of us. Why? because some people do not agree with tipping.
In countries where it is unnecessary to tip, the cost of maintaining the hourly employment is inflated and passed on to the customer through the food and bev. cost. This means is that in order to pay servers and bartenders the money they are used to making, we would all have to pay about double for the food and drink. As it is, servers are motivated to do a good job for each customer, because the customer is quite literally paying them for the effort. Server paychecks are laughable, they are usually barely enough to cover taxes. Bartenders fair slightly better, depending on where they work. Still both are dependent on customers paying them for services rendered. The tip is a part of the bill, if you don't want to pay it, go to a self service restaurant, don't take advantage of a service you won't pay for. Why do people fail to understand this?
