    There were many years I had to work in the service industry, from busing tables to waiting tables to bartending. Tipping is a way of saying ‘thank you’ for the service. It is very hard to find a server worthy of a good tip, and if I do not like the service, I do not tip. But I try to look at it like this: I am going to a restaurant because I do not want to cook, clean or even serve the meal myself. I need a break. The person who is my server is not paid the same minimum wage as a regular employee, and they are also, in some places, expected to give a percentage of their tips to employees who do make the regular minimum wage – and sometimes even split it with the other waitresses or bartenders. If I go to a gas station and like the service, I show it with a tip. If I go to a grocery store and like the help to my car, I try to tip. It is just a way of saying that I appreciate what they do.
