It's a real shame that Americans who never had to work for tips in their lives have such holier-than-thou ideas about denying the lower classes their right to a living wage in payment for services rendered. It's because of people like this that there's a need for mandatory service charges for large parties to begin with.
It's also worth noting that J.L. Kraft, the founder of Kraft foods, gave
90% of his income to the church in
tithes instead of the nominal 10%.
