        @USATODAY @elliottdotorg You don't address SERVICE. Some servers feel entitled to a tip. I flirt with 15-20% depending on THE SERVICE..

        @USATODAY @deborahferguson @elliottdotorg Is the 25% argument pre-tax or after tax?

        @USATODAY @elliottdotorg YES! So few folks know that servers are paid $2.13/hr. Tips matter! Don't like it? Don't eat out!

        @USATODAY @elliottdotorg I'd like to see tipping gone and decent wages paid. So the meal costs more--it already does since you need to tip.
