The cost of eating out, even pizza is going up. He probably didn't have enough for the tip after being charged that much for just pizza.

Waiters and waitresses are the most overpaid job out there.

They don't need $8 bucks for bringing me my food and drink I could have gotten myself...PLUS their hourly wage.

Could be me...I get NOTHING!

In the real world, waitpersons make about $2.50 an hour plus tips.
They are not subject to minimum wage laws.

Tipping 20% is ridiculous in any situation involving pizza. In fact, in any situation at all unless the service was extraordinary and unforgettable. For a nation which once despised the custom as undemocratic and servile, Americans have become absurd about tips.

You have to just sit back and laugh at them. I'm comfortable in my old age, and I'm laughing my azz off.

What happened to the "personal responsibility" meme?

I don't think that the patron should be required to pay for salary, it's not done that way anywhere else that I know of.
I mean, servers make what, about $2.50 and hour plus tips.

Another way the US is behind the world.
The cost of service is automatically included in the price of the meal in most parts of the world. The cost of a comparable restaurant meal is usually substantially more in Europe than the U.S.

Tipping in major European cities, especially rounding up, is also common stuff.

I love how when hardworking Americans are dissatisfied with the president, they like to take it out on young, hardworking women making about $22,000 a year.

That'll show Obama!

These women are making their hourly wage of at least $7.25/hr. A single 10% tip (as opposed to a 20%) is not going to make a dent.

Yea, but the thing is that there's a lot of valid stuff to blame Obama for. This is just a waste of time.

Many losers can't accept their pathetic existence, so they blame Obama for all their shortcomings.
