I don't think it does for me, but perhaps I could be swayed by your perspective.
It depends who your are and how you act. That's what it depends upon.

I'll concede that in general. But can you imagine some dweeb server asking Pascale or Islander if, surely, he or she doesn't want to add a tip to the l'addition ? I can hear the righteous indignation from here.
Did you really add the " [sic] " to the quote of JEK's post!?!?!?
That's a new high (or low) for the site.
If part of the tip went to the kitchen staff, as in the U.S., why differentiate between the owner or a waiter? I personally see the effort to persuade patrons to tip when it has not been traditionally done as an effort to change an established practice in the same vein as progressives here in the states, start talking about a change you desire and eventually it will become commonplace.Well, if the proprietor or his wife waits on you and delivers the check.

No, I was thinking more along the lines of 15.00/hour minimum wage for kids flipping burgers.Like what, the ridiculous notions that women should have the right to vote, or that gay people are in fact people ?
No, you missed my point. I understand about the owner of a business not being tipped because they would profit from the transaction anyway {hopefully}. You do realize don't you that waiters share their tips with everyone that works there. If tipping is commonplace, then the owner should be tipped also or the staff would suffer.
...I have never been asked to tip at Eddy's of anywhere else...
Once again you missed my point. I have never been asked to tip at Eddy's of anywhere else. Maybe I'm just lucky.
and cass, if being asked to tip would make your blood boil, lol, wonder what a real problem would do. why would you care, they are asking not putting a gun to your head........too funny. just say no.
