In reply to Truthiz1. Yes that Fireside guy went over board. He is a bad example to make people want to tip.

I have to agree with you tipping has got out of control. It is mandatory now and that is not what it was suppose to be. I tip when it is good and not when it is not.

Btw- the owners of Fireside Grille deserved to be dragged for the foolishness they posted!

Since when is it the customer’s job to make up for the “fair wage” the employer ISN’T paying their employees!?!

Obviously whoever wrote that post has NO shame or they never would’ve written that nonsense in the first place let alone think it a good idea to post it…smh!

Several countries in Europe and Asia do not accept or even allow tips. They pay their workers a fair salary and don’t expect patrons to make up the difference. Perhaps the US should follow the same example. […] – DJ

No doubt about it. The U.S. “should follow the same example” as other civilized countries when it comes to a host of issues! Some much more serious than tips…but tips included.

I do tip but frankly I’ve been on the fence for years about this American custom. When I get good service I don’t mind tipping. But there shouldn’t be an expectation that I’m going to tip. That, I do not like!

When I get bad service or just so-so service – No tip and absolutely No guilt!
