I don't care. As long as my chicken breast in champagne sauce tastes good. It all looks grilled and lemon buttery to me.

Well, I hope you also tip the bad servers regardless, because they'll probably spit in your food the next time you make an appearance.

It happens. "Generosity" doesn't always operate on the same tandem. I personally for example have donations taken out of personal account monthly, but I hesitate to "give" money away on the streets. I have my reasons for doing one and not the other.

I am opposite. I don't trust any charity but I happily buy a homeless guy a beer or a mickey.

A waitress walks into the back kitchen and picks up a plate of food and delivers it to the table. That sounds like so much work. I'm laughing. I would much rather tip a mechanic who fixed my car or a construction worker who builds homes for me to live in.

This sort of comment is indicative of someone who has never had a job dealing with people directly. Waitresses earn every penny they make.

Depends on the charity. I'm extremely picky for the same reason. Once a homeless guy said he needed money to eat, instead I offered to walk him to a fast food joint to buy him anything he wanted on the menu. He declined and we parted ways.

But a mechanic or a construction worker are paid in full by their employers. Most waiters are paid a reduced hourly wage with the assumption that the rest of their pay will be made up in tips.

sounds like the waiter or waitress needs to have a discussion with management then.
