    I think that's the difference. I believe that someone should get paid, just not by myself. Paying someone as far as I'm concerned in the responsibility of the owner or employer.

    Anything else (ie tips) should be treated as a bonus but not a god given entitlement. Hence this nonsense in America of people asking if there was a problem with the service when they believe the tip wasn't enough.

    Different strokes I suppose but I'm not a fan of the culture of tipping aside from an occasional thing. I normally acknowledge good service from someone with a polite word of thanks or on occasions having a word with their boss to highlight good service received.

    I think you utter fail to understand why tipping works in America. Because tipping has been established it is up to you to reward the employee according to how you judge the service.

    In some places in France waiters are self-employed and pay hello money to the owner in order to work there.

    I once bought a pizza which cost £4.50. This was before we had the euro. I thought the girl serving me was nice looking so I handed over a fiver and told her to keep the change. She gave me the dirtiest look. You'd think I had just killed her dog rather than told her to keep the change. When I got home I discovered the pizza was burned. That's the last time I ever tipped anyone for anything.
