not where i live its not...its the employer's responsibility to make up the difference up to minimum wage. the only exception i've seen is on parties with 15 people or more...the gratuity is included in the bill. So unless the employer adds the gratuity hidden in the price of the food...it is optional here in ohio

x2.

You're the only one who has posted that. If a waitress does not get tipped enough for it to average out to the minimum wage, then the employer must make up the difference. Therefore, they ARE getting paid at least minimum wage.

And since I have had a tip-based job (caddie), I usually tip pretty well AS LONG AS the service deserves it. 20% isn't out of the question on most occasions. If I'm feeling saucy I can give more. I'm not a cheapass (like some people on here apparently). One awesome part time job I had was working in the bag room at the same club I caddied at. I would make $7.50/hour + tips which was a sweet gig. Some days I could make $50 just in tips over a 5-6 hour period.

Though I do agree with the general consensus that the amount of the tip greatly depends on the service.

Don't go out to dinner if you're not going to tip at least 10%.

Link to that law?

I don't need a link. If you don't pay it, you are stealing end of story. Its the same as going to a car wash, getting your car washed, and not paying for it. You got the service, now pay for it.

If you are unhappy with the service at a car wash, more often then not, you are either washed again until you're satisfied, or refunded.

I have only not tipped twice because of shitty service

I do the 10%, sometimes 20%, just depends. My mom was a waitress for many years and I know what she went through, so I try my best to always tip decent.

i wonder how many waiters tip fast food employees. as concerned as they are, that would be the non-hypocritical approach.

Sometimes I'm tempted to when my burger isn't half covered in ketchup, leaning to the left, and half of my cheese is stuck to the wrapper.

Good luck finding a fast food place that will allow tipping though. "This isn't art class." Can't have quality food preparation slowing down the line.
