You ever tip the chef? The guy who cleans the table after you? The lady who cleans the dishes? Or the guy sits at the cash counter? Or the guy who opens and closes the door after you? Or the guy who walks around taking everyone's orders?
So why do we start making a noise when it comes to tipping a waiter? Is it only him/her in a restaurant who deserves to make some extra money? Or others are well paid? Well, then why not pay him well too?
I have always found this attitude, that not tipping means you get the service what you pay for, disturbing. This is regressive. The worse are the people who chime in with their moronic "if you can't tip, stay at home". All the good restaurants I've been to, the ones which are famous for both the food and service, offer good food and service and food whether you tip or not. If there's an exception that restaurant needs to have a closer look on its policies and staff.
