Re: I can see the basic function...
One meme that is going around is that one of the Koch brothers won't tip at the country club where he buys his billionaire friends meals.
One of my habits is I go out to breakfast to meet a friend every Sunday before she goes to church. While I don't eat much, I give a minimum of a 5 buck tip, even though my meal might even be less than that (I feel that a waiter having a wage of 2.45 an hour plus tips is idiotic, so I have a 5 buck min.
For some reason, I get excellent service , all the time.

Re: I can see the basic function...
Waiters and waitresses make their living off of tips. If they give you good service, and you don't acknowledge it, I consider that unethical. Don't go out dining.

Re: I can see the basic function...
Let's look at the service industry.
Did you know the federal miniumn wage in the service industry is 2.13 an hour, with some states going as high as 5.63?
I would love to see you get rent, food, electric and clothes at that amount.
