Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
Intel Ad: Jokes... Hilarious
Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
My stance is a tip is something given for good service, "at my leisure!"
1). I only pay tip if the server actually takes the time give us/me good service.
2). The Tip amount depends on the level of service or amount they went out of their way.
3). Sometimes I just don't have the spare cash and can't pay a tip. they are lucky I even made it to the restaurant at all.
4). I usually tip 10-15 percent or just round-up to an even dollar amount. My choice!
5). My rule, anyone who mentions a tip, never mind demands one - GETS NOTHING!
Now, I'll go read the comments!

isn't a hand ball one of the worst offenses you could make in football
If you aren't a goalkeeper, the only time the hands should be used is to preclude the possibility of a painful ball-ball interaction. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuvhNms5skE for further enlightenment.

Sarah Palin Fans: Not That Bright
Yes jimnms, monkey post yet another Palin video, another monkey see and do.

Yes Razor, It hurts my head just how dumb/numb/mundane (some) Americans/Canadians can be, having an opinion at all other than that politics are completely tainted and insane to the core, serving only those who seek their own tiny empires and agendas. The people here who discuss the issues involved the most are both the ones who have been thoroughly duped and the ones that these politicians could care the least about.

If you don't agree to the prices, don't visit the restaurant.
I'm pretty sure they did agree to the posted prices. The problem was they were told that the gratuity was nonsensically mandatory, despite the lousy service they received. This isn't rocket science.

I believe in tipping, I'm a good tipper. If you can't afford the tip, then you can't afford the meal, that's what I say. But if I get bad service, I certainly let the waiter/restaurant know it, and I will tip according to the response.

It's still choice, as I see fit!
Don't get me wrong, I tip 80% of the time but it dependent on my choice and the level of my bank account.

I believe the restaurants here in Canada charge more for a meal than they do in the US.
An adult meal can cost $12 - $25 before drinks and appetizers depending on the restaurant and the dish served.
Ad the $3-$4 for a bottomless pop, $8-$10 for an Appy, maybe another $5-$7 for a desert
(I'm not even going to count alcoholic drinks, $5-$8 per glass)
That's about $28 - $46 per person for everything. Adding an 18% tip ($5.04 - $6.28 per person) can and is a big deal to the average family.
A budget spender can get away with an average $15-$20 per person at a sit-down cafe, but a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids) still spends about $40-$60 for dinner at a restaurant while fifty dollars will buy you 3 meals a day at home for 3-5 days.
My point with all this is, leaving a tip costs me money. I spend my money as "I" see fit. If for some reason, I don't/can't leave one (this time),it will be my choice. Those which work in this environment (survival of the fittest), learn to give good service or suffer a lower paycheck. If the waiter/waitress is overworked because it is busy and can't give good service is more a reflection on the business/sweatshop for not providing proper staff coverage. It is not my job to compensate for their shortcomings.
I must also mention (off on a tangent): If I am with a larger group, we phone ahead or if it is on-the-spot, we ask if "it will be a problem" before even being seated. Either you can handle our group - or you can't.

If there weren't a million people vying for those jobs, pay would go up, the trivial work would then be increasingly automated, and humankind would be spared a life of drudgery. In agriculture, the US doesn't use some time-saving automated technology that's used in Europe and Japan because we have so many folks vying for those jobs that it's cheaper to pay them than to buy the existing technology.

No Country For Old Men - The Ending Scene
Ed Tom (TLJ) has decided on retirement rather than bringing the killer to justice. He found the killer but he retires because he realizes that Texas is essentially No Country for Old Men. So he tells his wife about a dream: heading into snowy, dangerous mountains on horseback and his father carrying fire, goes on ahead of him to await him.
This idea of father & son carrying fire is also explored in The Road, McCarthy's follow-up to NCFOM, as the man and the boy seek to establish their place in the overwhelming bleakness of their existence.
The Sheriff knows he's outmatched by this new kind of evil (Bardem) and since he's older now than his father ever was, the dream is kind of an acceptance of his retirement, a "letting-go" of this hazardous job so he can follow the fire of his father. Perhaps he feels he owes it to his father to continue to survive, since he's older.
Like Bob Dylan said, "Momma, take this badge offa me, ... I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door."
