i can agree w/ most of you that the tipping in the US is a bit out of hand .. i am american , i also spent 15yr behind the bar and in the restaurant buisness so i depended on my tips to make a living being my paycheck was 0.00 every week after taxes are taken out and healthcare is paid.but there was a comment above about what is good service?? good service to me is(was) that when you come dine w/ me (or drink) you have everything you need at any moment during your meal ...if your a regular guest you definately get preferential treatment(the best table, never wait for anything, and i also would know what u drink so by the time you sat down your drinks would be on the table waiting for you!!) now if you can name a restaurant in japan or anywhere else for that matter that does that .. please let me know and i will be sure to go... i feel that now when i travel back to the US ,the service is mostly poor , and they expect 20-25% ti[p no matter what ....ridiculous... and i recently went to atlantic city (new jersey) and shelled out tip after tip .. to the vallet,coat chk, concierge,etc.. just silly.. everyone has there hand out and they really dont do anything to deserve tips.. my point is here that yes i agree its gone overboard and the restaurant industry needs to address, my suggestion is add it to the bill!! as long as i dont get a bill for my dinner , then have to tip 20% ill be happy!!!! but i have a soft spot for tipping only because i depended on it for so long , but i did feel i went over and beyond my call of duty!!
