    I think this debate is getting out of control. It is completely subjective whether to tip or not.

    Main Entry: gra·tu·ity
    Pronunciation: gr&-'tü-&-tE, -'tyü-
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural -ities
    : something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service; especially : TIP

    I personally think tipping is out of control as well. If people are so adamant about the right of receiving a tip, then they should work at a place that enforce mandatory extra fees (I wouldn't call them tips anymore).

    By the very definition of the word, tipping is completely voluntary and beyond obligation.

    OMG .. Here's Manu's answer.

    WOW!! You waited a little bit to let me know about this!! I'm very sorry!!
    Tipping is different in many countries, and probably sometimes I just forget or don't know that I have to tip some people, but in your case, I DO remember that I didn't tip you, but it was only because both me and my wife didn't have the wallet with us, I only took to that party the driving license!! I'm very sorry again!

    By the way, how much you should tip a vallet parking guy? to be ready for the next time.

    See you.

    I just think its ludicrous to charge an 18% commission for doing such a basic thing as serving you food.

    Tipping in the US has gotten out of hand. Cab drivers in NYC will yell at you if you don't tip them (and they ussually yell to you in a foreign langauge). Even guys who cut your hair expect a tip.

    Tipping should depend of quality service, not just on tradition.
    bc that is what the tip is for.. you can cook your own food, but you don't want to.. you can serve your own food, but you don't want to... you are SUPPOSED to tip... if not, then you truly can't afford to... you make up excuses for not tipping bc you really can't afford it..

    I like Manu's response to does Tony Parker have a girlfriend when he says he's not sure. Come on Manu, it's ok to spill it out

    Check RVB's post and get back tome. Tipping, by definition, is voluntary.

    In any case, I'm not opposed to tipping. I'm opposed to MANDATORY 18% GRATUITY some restaurants charge you.

    Props to Manu for his response.

    I customarily tip 20%+ for good service. A $40 dollar tip is not uncommon for an hours worth of good waiter service for a party of 4-6 and the waiter is covering other tables at the same time...but poor service also gets poor tips...same for bellmen, valets, etc...

    guess we know what category Manny falls in...

    Exactly, CC.

    I'm happy to tip in exchange for good service. But that is no longer the case. It's expected, and that is what pisses me off.

    But what recourse does the server have when he encounters someone who is just cheap and decides to screw them?

    Wow, Manu gets mad props from me for him answering that!

    Manu,

    I appreciate you answering my last question. It was actually intended as a joke. Ever since that event, whenever I get to gether with a group of fellow Spurs fans, I have used it as a kind of running joke. I honestly did not expect you to respond to it, and although I accept your apology it wasn't nessecary. We still love you either way! (Especially after the Pheonix game.)

    The average valet tip is between 1 and 2 dollars. Most of the guys I worked with were either military men trying to make a few more bucks or students.

    Everyone has situations where they are unable to tip for whatever reason, and if you simply mention that to the valet 99% of the guys doing it will understand.

    Even though this started as a joke, I really do appreciate your response, and I know many of the people who read it as well appreciate it.

    ˇGracias, y juega bien en Denver!

    ˇAy nos vemos, adiós!

    You should send Manu this entire friggin thread. He'll park his own car for the rest of his life.

    Edit: Hey, WTF? He and his wife didn't take their wallets? So they stiffed the waitpersons, too!

    Fire him up again, Manny!
