- Well behind the front lines!
My wife and I do tip well when we get good service that calls for it. There's a local dive we go to for a trivia night every Tuesday night. One server there has our drinks when we walk in the door and we never have to tell her how we want a certain dish prepared more than once. Her, we tip really well, usually somewhere around 40-50% and sometimes even more. There are other servers at places we've gone to where we tip even better.
But you gotta work for it.
We don't abuse servers or anything, they've just got to do their job well.
In short, I literally worked myself to the bone. To this day, I recall very little about those 2 years because I was on the move all the time.
My point? If you're not making enough, go get another job or do what you must to better yourself to get that better paying job you want.
If you don't want to do that, fine. But it isn't my responsibility to fund you otherwise. This isn't a socialist country for a reason.

I get the argument but have never bought into it. I worked in a Kinko's copies and loved the job, but it didn't pay squat. So one day I decided to do something; I went back to school, worked full time (with a full class load) and Army ROTC on top of that (I was over the cutoff age for scholarships, so I didn't see one cent of scholarship money in spite of getting better graders than many of the ones who were getting it all paid for). I also lived with parents during that timeframe to save money.I won't ever stiff a waitress on a tip, no matter how slow the restaurant. She has no control over what happens in the kitchen, and is probably being paid squat besides.
