Honestly, if the service is BAD, then sure, a tip is not deserved, and if people are stuck sitting there for half an hour and nobody comes by, I don't blame them for having fun with the condiments!

However, a server that really busts their butt, is friendly, and goes out of their way to make your dining experience pleasurable, corrects any errors, let's you know if your food is going to take longer than expected and explains why, re-fills your drinks, makes sure you have enough napkins, etc. deserves at least 15%. 4951
