I'm a pretty cheap person until it comes to tipping. I've always been a very generous tipper. Just seems that many of them need the money more than i do and i've always had that mindset when tipping.

I personally waited tables through school and not because I had to but for spending money.
Some ppl do it part time to supplement their income...and then there are those who do it as a career.
Keep in mind, if you were at some of the higher scale restaurants in Atlanta, you have the potential to make just as much as a salaried employee. I had a friend that worked at the Renaissance downtown and she cleared 60k a year, only working 4 days a week.
Yea i'll tip proportionately to the cost of my meal at higher end restaurants because by that time their already about to wipe me clean, but i've always had no problem giving away a little more than usual or what is standard to waiters, barbers, ect.
What really pisses me off though is when i have paid and left a more than generous tip at a restaurant, and later realize on my receipt that they had already charged me a percent on my bill for a tip and they don't even tell you. So i double tipped because of a deceitful practice.
