Yeah... She's pretty dumb. My tips are usually proportional to how good the service was, but it's never below 10%. That's just being cheap. Tipping's such a big part of the way society works that I'm surprised to see anyone refuses to tip.

Yeah. I had a talk with a friend who was (is?) a waitres and she told me about sharing her tips with the greeters who sit customers at the tables. They have such monetary connections that they just have to work together well enough to get most tip possible, otherwise they "lose" a lot of money. It's just how it works, and it's, usually by default, a large portion of a waiter/waitress' salary. It applies to same with pizza delivery people, I believe.
