I'm sorry, I misunderstood who I was responding to. I don't get how to see the parent comments on this service.

I don't care if someone tips or not. If you provide top tier service regardless of the tip amount, then the tips you get at the end of the pay period are quite good.

I'm upset and tired of the near conspiratorial tone and constant complaining about tipping. Would it be better if wages were better? Yes, but they are not, tip or don't, that's fine. Some people may get upset if someone doesn't tip but I find it really unlikely that servers will even remember who you are by the end of the night much less hold or grudge or try and mess with anyone's order over you not giving a couple bucks or so.
