Reply #225: I worked as a food industry server...

and all of my immediate family. We all have the experience of knowing what it is like.

I tip generously when I see a hard working, caring server.

I also can assess when a server/bartender is doing his job or is a goof off.
then it is not generously.

I remember those times the wealthy were in my station and some were very, very tight with their money but demanded 5 star service. And there were the times when I could see the customer was not well off but was courteous and generous with tip.

There are the good, the bad and ugly in every place.
