i guess i take the approach that a tip is earned, not a right. Just cause you took a lousy job, and did it correctly, does not mean i should pay you extra for your lack of interest. If you get my pizza to me in a timely manner, hot, and not upside down in the box, you get tipped. If you take an hour and its cold and crappy, you did your job, nothing more. So i will pay you nothing more. If you go out of your way to be good at what you do, and make it an enjoyable experience for the customer, and make me want to go there again, you get a reasonably sized tip. Because you did more than you HAD to, you got a bonus. If your that fast food guy that wont even look at me when you throw my food out the window, you have done the minimum job requirements ONLY, so thats all you deserve to get payed. If im at a restauraunt, i dont care how nice or expensive, and the waiter never comes by to ask me how the food is or offer to refill my drinks, then he has not earned a tip. I dont care if i spent 1,000 dollars on dinner, or 2 bucks at Jacks... if im not worth the effort to you, then your lack of effort certianly isn't going to cost ME money. Im not gonna pay extra for nothing.
I am not stingy when it comes to tips, but i have no quallms about stiffing you on your tip if you dont do anything to deserve it. It even kinda angers me that these days people see tips as a right...not a bonus you get when you do your job well, rather that doing the crappy minimum requirements.
