Re: The Tipping System is Ridiculous
I see now how this game is played. Forgive my ignorance and frailty. This is the first time I've encountered a forum that has fraternity style 'initiations' and 'baptisms'. Had I known this was a rite of passage, I wouldn't be so defensive. That being said, rudeness is rudeness, but I'm willing to accept it with a giant 'Go fock yourself'. Thank you for the debate.

Re: The Tipping System is Ridiculous
Don't be daft. You started a thread that struck interest with quite a few people - by "interest" I mean it was controversial enough to spark a lively debate/conversation. I would think that was what you were aiming for.... or perhaps you just like for everybody to agree with you?

A thick skin is one of the requirements here.

I know we are paid more here so can afford to eat out but I do now put on the nearly 30% on to every menu item and then it doesn't look like such a bargain to me!

There are a so many great places in the International district to eat and even with the sales tax, which is high..(but then we dont have state income tax so)...its a bargain to eat in Seattle and most places in the US compared to anywhere decent in the UK.
