Quote: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.
