Tipping is like commission IMHO. Waiters give better service because their income depends on it. “Waiting” also one of the last areas in which a person can make a living wage with little or no education.

I know one waiter in Chicago that makes over 6 figures. He wouldn’t trade it for anything. Get’s to be home with his kids during the day etc …

I never eat out, because there are no good kosher restaurants where I live. The only one “fancy” restaurant, a vegetarian place, hasn’t updated their menu in like 15 years!

When I go somewhere there are a lot of kosher restaurants, like Toronto or New York, I’m just blown away by the prices. I try to include a 20% tip but sometimes it’s so expensive I can only manage 15%.
