I generally tip well.

How do places get away with paying staff so little? Isn't min. wage in place for a reason? IIRC, wait staff still get at least min. wage up here. Tips are just bonus, as they should be IMO (although they are counted as income for tax purposes in most cases). I tip because I liked the service, not because I feel obligated to make up their difference in pay.
