Quote:Oh come on you are forced to tip, how often don't you tip and what service do you receive? It Is culturally enforced.


Exactly, if people were paid properly so the customers didn't have to give the waiting staff extra money to do their job then the tax man would collect his due.

It's most certainly not culturally enforced.  Many people don't tip.  (It's certainly NOT un-taxed btw)  Many people don't tip, because they don't see why they should.  Personally I feel if you can't afford a tip, or don't tip, you shouldn't go out to a restaurant where people serve you your food.  But there are a lot of people who don't tip.  If you're not a regular customer, you probably get good service unless you tell the waiter or waitress ahead of time you don't tip.
