It depends on the model . In some restaurants that pay good wages , patrons are instructed not to leave tips , and they ' re not allowed to be left on bills paid with a card . If you had a model where servers were paid $ 12 hr but could still be tipped for excellent service it ' d probably work . I still don ' t understand why people buy into tipping for servers when the job is so similar to many other service jobs where employees are just expected to give good service and you wouldn ' t dream of tipping . <| sep |> Oh no , the members of the downvote brigade have escaped from prison ! Quick , someone notify the upvote squad ! ! <| sep |> I ' ve never had a real desire to sing . I , first and foremost , am striving to become a good musician . I want to be able to play instruments well and write and compose songs . Vocal ability is useful when it comes to playing music and I don ' t want to write songs for other people . Singing is more of an obligation than a passion for me .
