Do you know of any tipped employees that have had the balance made up by their employer? While this is the way it is supposed to be I doubt the reality is such. Any servers here to comment? How do you differentiate the good servers from bad if you are expected to tip before service is rendered? Do you endorse the concept of tipping for counter service? What is the justification?
