Why ? Give me reasons damnit . What about it bothered you when you handled one ? What didn ' t you like when you shot it ? <| sep |> All of these people replying to you are talking about quality , when that really isnt the issue here . Unfortunately , in America , servers dont get paid anything close to a living wage . The $ per hour is basically to cover the taxes on your tips . As a diner your prices are set to expect a 20 % tip to the server . Its a fucked up system , but the person doing their job suffers if someone makes it more about the individual experience than recognizing this is just how the economy in the restaurant industry in America works . If you weren ' t subsidizing the server ' s wage you food would cost ~ 20 % more . You aren ' t actually paying them extra . Tipping 25 % 30 % is paying extra .
