[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I hope "Pastor" Bell's comment and signature end up all over the internet, including in his home town, and he's embarrassed, rebuked, shamed, and shunned by everyone for his penurious nastiness.

Sorry. Tips are optional. What I see on that bill is theft, or fraud. MrModerate Jan 2013 #35

Not leaving a tip is morally reprehensible. baldguy Jan 2013 #42

First off, I think the diner was angry, not stupid . . . MrModerate Jan 2013 #49

As far as living places goes... Democracyinkind Jan 2013 #56

I'd have to agree, "that's just you . . ." MrModerate Jan 2013 #58

So you think it's OK to stiff your server, just to maintain your Trotskyite indignation baldguy Jan 2013 #63

Did I say anything even remotely like that? No, I didn't. So what the hell are you talking about? nt MrModerate Jan 2013 #105

you can't stiff the waiter at that applebee's, apparently. 18% gratuity is mandatory. only HiPointDem Feb 2013 #132

The 15% is a tip in intent. It is just formalized and standardized. Democracyinkind Jan 2013 #78

Distinctions matter. MrModerate Jan 2013 #106

Servers make $2.13 an hour and are taxed on tips whether they get them or not. Starry Messenger Jan 2013 #107

This "stay home if you can't afford a tip" bullshit is really obnoxious. MrModerate Jan 2013 #109

They are assessed taxes on projected tip earnings. Starry Messenger Jan 2013 #112

I'll resist the urge to reply in kind and simply point out that . . . MrModerate Jan 2013 #116

You don't seem to understand that you have to pay people when they do things for you. baldguy Jan 2013 #117

Not sure it's worth it, since you seem incapable of listening, but what the heck: MrModerate Jan 2013 #118

You've been very clear: You resent the fact that you have to pay people who work for you. baldguy Jan 2013 #121

Hopeless. MrModerate Feb 2013 #123

Hi-- Tien1985 Feb 2013 #126

Well, maybe it's because I've been in and out of the States . . . MrModerate Feb 2013 #135

You are in Australia, but this is in the U.S. ... Rider3 Feb 2013 #127

I've lived in the US almost half my life, so I've seen the conditions . . . MrModerate Feb 2013 #128

a mandatory tip isn't a tip. if restaurants make tips mandatory they should just add them to the HiPointDem Feb 2013 #131

Just about all restaurants add that on for parties of 5 or more. hobbit709 Jan 2013 #59

The bill is under $40, probably not a party of greater than 5. FSogol Jan 2013 #65

all depends on the restaurant. hobbit709 Jan 2013 #66

It was a party of 8 that's asked for a separate check. Separation Jan 2013 #72

Oh, didn't see that. FSogol Jan 2013 #73

Perhaps it was a large party that had the server split the bill GObamaGO Jan 2013 #85

It was a party of 20 justabob Jan 2013 #87

Bullshit. Recommending a tip is not "theft or fraud" SomethingFishy Jan 2013 #97

They've already charged for a "tip" which they've ever-so-helpfully decided is 18% . . . MrModerate Jan 2013 #108

They put the 18% on the bill because the guy was part of a party of 20 SomethingFishy Jan 2013 #120

I saw that blanket statement on Reddit . . . MrModerate Feb 2013 #122

she paid, as the news reports make clear. the 18% was a mandatory gratuity and she was charged HiPointDem Feb 2013 #133
