A tip isn't optional

To the people who think tipping is optional. In the state of Pennsylvania, min. wage for a server is $2.83 an hour. It hasn't gone up with min. wage in over 10 years. So how would you feel if you were making that much money an hour and got stiffed? I wait tables for a living. If your not going to tip, stay the hell home or go through the drive thru.
Until you have all worked waiting tables and relying on tips for a living, I think you all need to shut the hell up, because you have no clue what it is like. You'll change your tune on not tipping real quick. -

"If your not going to tip, stay the hell home or go through the drive thru."
If you are going to expect a tip, bring my meal promptly and hot, refill my coffee if it is low / empty, bring me a new clean fork if I dropped mine on the floor, bring me extra napkins if I am eating like a messy pig, and if I don't have water, ask me if I would like some. If these requests are not being met, don't expect a tip. -

I know plenty of servers with college educations. It's called a bad economy, and has nothing to do with "doing better in school." I'm so glad that most people aren't complete douchebags like you when it comes to tipping.

I was sitting at a barber shop here in Austin waiting for a haircut when this asian kid sitting next to me asks me if you're supposed to tip for a haircut. I told him "you don't have to, but you should - particularly if you like your haircut". He says "in my country, we don't tip". I told him "that's why you have a beep haircut"

Yeah, tipping is optional.
And there are other jobs out there so don't act like its their only option.
I tip when I feel the server did a good job. And I NEVER tip on a buffet. Taking my plate and getting me a new pop doesn't get you 15% in my book. Money should go to the cooks.
I work at a golf course and occasionally help out in the snack bar when the hours are slim. Last night I did a ticket for 60 bucks and didn't get a dime. Do you hear me complain? No.
As someone said earlier. Don't expect a tip just because you did you showed up and did your job
