> employer is legally required to pay the minimum wage for that shift. Right because if you're getting paid $2/hr + tips and make less than min wage because you didn't get tipped, you sure have the means to file a lawsuit. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out. |

Sure, if you only go to places where it is proper to tip, but there are plenty of places to eat out where NOT tipping is appropriate.
I believe that tipping should be based on the level of service provided, not on the financial status/need of either the provider or the consumer. If I'm getting takeout, I rarely tip more than a dollar. If it's a place where I bus my own table and pickup my food at the counter, I don't tip at all. On numerous occasions where I felt I got wonderful service, I've tipped $20 on a 10 dollar meal. Generally, I'll tip 15% - 20% based on service level.
