Tipping is never mandatory, but it’s definitely expected when you go to a sit down restaurant with a waiter, or get food delivered.

It’s a wanting your cake and eating it too situation. People love to play their violins about how they need tips to survive, etc but when someone suggests just raising the prices of food so the restaurant can pay them a better salary, they freak out and are completely against it behave in reality some servers, etc can make boat loads of money. My friends sister was pulling in $600+ in a night sometimes working at OLIVE GARDEN

Sorry, but someone who waits tables shouldn’t be making more than people with 6 year masters degrees in speciality fields that are really difficult and require a high level of education/intelligence
