It's unfortunate for the workers in the service industry, because there are a lot of ignorant people who do not understand that their wages are entirely dependent upon tipping. I know of people who dine at expensive restaurants, get excellent service, but refuse to leave a decent tip. Also, in my experience, foreigners tend to be the worst tippers because they do not understand the concept of the wage dependent tips. I've had people order $200+ worth of food, and think that a $10 spot was more than generous. I've been to England, Ireland, and Scotland, and in my experience the service was much poorer than it is in the sates due to their salaries not entirely depending on tips.
