I'm pretty sure the number of servers who say "Oh, the previous table tipped low. I must have done something wrong" is many orders of magnitude lower than the number of servers who say "Oh, the previous table tipped low. Cheap bastards".
As you say, I don't understand why people think that tipping actually helps w/ service. OTOH the masses still drag out that incorrect tale of To Insure Prompt Service
- wccrawford 11y agoWhen my wife and I went to Japan, we received the best service we'd ever had in every single restaurant, from random burger joints to classy Shabu Shabu restaurants. (Classy for us, at least.) None of them accepted tips. They just did their jobs well. It was just proof for me that tips didn't have anything to do with good service, not in the long-run or the short-run. Of course, I tip still, because it's part of their wages and they deserve it. But I don't for a moment think that it actually teaches them to serve people better.
