Remember when tipping a person for providing a service was a strictly voluntary act? The amount of the tip is usually determined by the quality of the service. Unfortunately this idea no longer holds true.
A couple, Pope and John Wagner, were out with friends one night having some food and a couple of drinks. The service was terrible so they decided to pay the bill but not to leave a tip. When they didn't tip the bartender called the police who locked up the couple on a charge of thievery.
I have the honor of saying this is one of the DUMBEST things I have heard in a while. No Matter what size your group, whether it's 1 or 40, tipping should be optional. Now you might say, "Oh but serving a big group of people is much harder and we deserve extra compensation!" No you don't. You have to provide good service and earn your tips, like your ancestors did.
I just can't believe the couple was actually locked up for this while other, more heinous crimes were probably being committed. I can picture it now, as the police where throwing these two "criminals" in the back of their car a gang of circus midgets, armed with bazookas, robbed serveral banks while kicking over a stroller and stealing an elderly woman's dentures.
I just hope the cops can focus on catching the circus midgets before its too late.
