Servers expect minimum 15 percent and 20 percent gratuity is usually the norm. When I was a server, I worked my ass off every night. Anyone who tips less than 15 percent should eat at Burger King imho.

I think you got it twisted! it is the employer who is exploiting his workers that are the problem .. if you list an item for $10 , .. then this is what I expect to be paying if I order this .. why give an extra $1.5 or $2 for the "service" ? this is bullshit!
