OT:
We’ve kicked around the notion of tipping for food service for a while (especially after that article and subsequent debunking about the so called 1%er giving a less than 1% tip on his bill). Well, Mario Batali settled a big class action lawsuit over tipping at his restaurants (some coowned/managed by Joe Bastianich) to the tune of $5.25 million. The waiters and other staffers alleged that their tips were confiscated - primarily in the form of a mandatory confiscation of 4-5% of the wine sales for the evening.
