Agreed, and I also agree that making a habit of tipping well pays dividends in the form of better service and friendly waitors / better seating.

I was just making a sideways observation.

Still though, I must confess I had no idea that there was so much animosity in the USA over this. It's rather amusing to be honest... If anything it makes me realize I should probably hide the fact I'm Canadian if there is such widespread hatred in the food service industry. Still... my standard 15% tip continues. Don't like it? Lobby for higher wages.
