All this does is show that the average person tips less than 18%. They're still trying to turn over as many people as they can to get the next table to charge another 18% regardless of service quality.

I'm curious as to how much the server actually gets.

Pretty much.

So the customer can do nothing when they get shitty service?

They can choose not to return.

[kstater]

How do they quantify their service improved?

[kstater]

How do they correlate that the increased revenue was due to no tipping policy?

Probably because they take a slice of that pie for themselves instead of the waiter pocketing the tip if its paid in cash.

[kstater]

One could argue that because they had to shut their business down and are attempting a different store 8 hours away that the business plan was a failure.

[*]Furthermore, servers in tipping environments learn to profile guests (pdf), and attend mainly to those who fit the stereotypes of good tippers. This may increase the server’s earnings, while creating negative experiences for the many restaurant customers who are women, ethnic minorities, elderly or from foreign countries..

So, the only people who consistently tip well are 'merican caucasian males ages 18-60?

Why do the libtards hate us so?
