Then until laws change, please eat at home or fast food.
I would NEVER EVER not tip at least 18%, and it's usually more.
When we decide to eat out we make sure we can afford to go out and relax and have a nice time. If the waitress is busy and I see the coffee pots, I have no problem re-filling hubbys cup and anyone else who wants some.
People need to be nicer to other people.

tootsie roll Reviewed by tootsie roll on . tipping at restaurants... you just had a 100$ dinner... what do you tip, if any at all? just wondering... i can't consciencly walk out of a resturant without leaving a tip, but the wife, on bad service, prefers to just get up and walk out.... even if the quality of food and service was complete shit i just can't leave without feeling guilty if i've left nothing at the table but dirty plates... so do you tip? and if so how much?
