tipping, do you do it ?
A lot of people say, if you can't afford to tip then you shouldn't go to places where tipping is allowed. What do you say about tips and how generous are you ?

To me, the problem is that here they've raised the minimum wage, to include restaurant staff, to $11/hr, on a scale to move up to $15/hr. That sort of skews the normal formula of how to tip.
Some of the restaurants here simply say 'no tipping' and include a mandatory 18-20% "service fee". To me, that sort of takes out incentive for good service. Of course you can add more if the service is excellent.
Other restaurants here have started to have separate tip lines on the bill for wait staff and kitchen staff. Allows you to tip the cook if the food was fabulous, but not if the service was lousy.
