I know but this was over a week of comments lost.

I'll take "things I give no fucking shit about" for 500, Alex.

I lost some of my post history. Is there a data issue that's come from this? Why are my comments gone?

I just came to that

IMO you can opt out of the "tip at register" sort of stuff if you want. But if a waiter is coming to your table to take your order, bring your food, refill your drinks, etc. Then you really should tip 15%. Waitstaff generally are paid less than minimum wage and it's because of tipping culture.

Here is a source on what they are paid by state. The 2.13/hr states are the ones you really should tip.
