Tipping in the service industry

[Bob Kelso]

I agree about service - if a tip is expected, you should tip based on how well the service was performed.
Where I disagree though is with the fact that if someone can afford to go out to eat, they should still tip something. Too many times I see friends sit there and bitch because they are behind in their utility bills, but we're sitting there eating at a restaurant? How is that prioritizing your money? If you can't pay your light bill then you probably shouldn't be eating out anyway.

I totally agree, and I don’t spend my cash unwisely for the most part (I hope lol) but again, people do what they do.

Edit: by the way, in my initial post any “you” was in general and not directed at anyone in particular. So I hope you didn’t take it that way.
