hannukah makes a good point, namely, you'd see about a 20% increase in food prices if you didn't tip, probably a bit more bc then the restaurant would have to pay extra taxes along with the extra pay to the staff, so say 25% more..and your server probably wouldn't be as attentive...i know for a fact that we wouldn't volunteer for certain shifts/hours...many of my friends work "double' shifts, no breaks, no designated lunch time, etc, just to make a bit more money bc you sure aren't paid when you have no tables...
not to mention, most servers would quit if they only made $8/hr. it's a pain of a job, believe it or not, and even ihop servers, if they are fast and efficient, make about twice that.
