...i have no problem with that as most have said it is for good service and in my town (small)6 restaurants to choose from very very very seldom leave a tip I'm a big coffee drinker and if my cup stays empty for more than 5 minutes we have a problem when you ask for a refill and have to wait 15 minute you get no tip.....tips are for service and should not be expected

Do you realize your server lives off their tips as a rule? Here in FL, thank goodness, at least our pay scale has to adjust with min wage since last year! Before that, it was $2.37 an hour, now up to $3.13! That's our paycheck, with taxes taken out for min wage rates!!
I agree, that tip should depend on quality of service, but 10-15% min isn't gonna set you back that much!
If you can't afford to tip, DON'T go to a full service establishment! If you frequent an establishment and do this, then even the highest quality server is gonna say oh well, and not kill themselves to fix or help your problem! stop being a cheap A $$!!!

Leaving a gratuity (tip) at a restaurant is a choice, not a requirement. However, most of us keep in mind that waitresses and waitors usually don't make even minimum wage, and work very hard. I like to reward hard work and good service.

People who work for tips usually get lower hourly wages. Employers say that you make up the difference with tips. Poor or non-tippers usually have never worked for a tip. So they have no idea of how it is for the person who must work for a tip.

No, but be careful. If you continue going back to the same restaurant, the help will remember you, and next time you eat there, they may spit in your food before serving you your meal, or worse.

I'm sure you're just trolling.....but if you're aware that servers live off tips, you shouldn't intentionally stiff them unless they provide horrible service. If you're one of these people who thinks they don't deserve tips, then you should stay home and cook your own food.

You are a prick taking an unfair advantage of the system.
Being a prick, I'd guess a small one at that. The problem is in your pants, over-compensate at your peril, son.
