How about all you "help the people" types, can you stiff the server just because he doesn't refill your tea as quickly as you wish?  |
If the server is bad, you don't tip. Many servers, though, still seem to think that tipping is mandatory.. hehe
Servers do not make that much in Germany either, mind you. Depending on the Restaurant, most of your income is based on sales commission.
Also, if I remember correctly, here in the US if you put the tip on the bill, with lets say your credit card, it will get taxed.
