i demand an explanation from the people rating this down of why they are rating this down. i already know you have tiny dicks, so that won't suffice.

In response to your penultimate sentence, if the servers stop caring how well they serve us, it will impact on the restuarant as a whole and if nothing was done about such staff, such an establishment wouldn't last. My point is that tipping has now become expected and its isn't to do with service. The fact that someone walks around and brings you food & drink does not deserve a reward when this is what they are MEANT to do ANYWAY. But the restaurant industry doesn't want to be up front about the true cost of eating out because they know it would be harder to sell to the public if the true cost was shown. However, I would prefer knowing up front the intended charge for eating out prior to sitting down, than the pressure of worrying all evening about not meeting the now almost obligatory act of leaving additional money for the server. The whole restaurant thing has to be an honest and clear experience, not couched in mystery, subtle pressure and the vagaries of human assessment. And the serving staff would know where they stood from the get go and there would be no excuse for poor service.
