My brother in law worked as a waiter years ago & had friends @ different restaurants.  I based my comment on his experience.
I think that was & still is the norm around Gainesville. This would be a great question to ask the next trip out.

Casino's still work this way...it annoys me when I tip a good servant while I know there are bad ones who get a cut.   I figure that eventually it comes around for them.

Democrats must have came up with the tipping pool. You they like the redistribution of wealth.

Sure, because a Republican would expect the price of the item to be the final price.

Correct. It is the final price. Tipping is a separate​ transaction and optional.  I tip 25% or more for great service. 5 or 0 and pay cash if it sucks.

In many of the countries I travel to, a tip is not understood or expected.  Why is it that in the US the servers are paid a lower rate and tips are expected? Is it to encourage servers to do a good job and let the customers determine their success or failure? Bad behavior shouldn't​ be rewarded because it is "expected".  Tips are not automatic if you suck.  I see tipping as the much desired and paid for customer survey and feedback platform.  Rather instant too. 

I can't believe there is this much discussion about Applebee's.  What do you expect? It's a chain serving pre-prepared meals so little talent is needed   Go to a locally​ owned restaurant and get to know them. They are hard getting hard to find though.

I can't believe its draw this much discussion either. There must be a epidemic.
