Regarding Tipping. I am a big tipper. I always appreciate someone who is working their butt off and relies on tips for their income. I don't like going into 5 Guys, Chinese Resturant, Starbucks , dunkin, etc where they are paid an hourly wage and groveling for tips.
I have always understood that a tip should be applied to the Food & Drink for service at a restaurant. I have noticed that the "Suggested Tip" at the bottom of the receipt more often is calculated with the fees and taxes.
