QUOTE Some cheapskates are whining about mandatory tips at a handful of New York restaurants -- even, God forbid, for infants. Well, let them eat at home with their screaming tots. Intermittent bursts of outrage over the few places which impose automatic "service charges" are out of touch with the rest of the hungry, civilized world. In most European and some Asian countries, built-in tips are the norm. It's why service abroad is more professional than in the US, where waiters are regarded as lowly drudges who must grovel to make a living -- and sometimes act that way.

Makes me wonder if he's ever eaten at a restaurant in Europe, because... no. Never had good wait staff in any restaurant at which I've eaten in several European countries, and they all had mandatory tips.
Also...

But far from being elitist, a mandatory service charge democratizes the restaurant experience for both customers and staff. Waiters and sommeliers don't have to "up-sell" pricier choices in hopes of pocketing bigger bucks.
Up selling pricier choices still means bigger bucks with a mandatory 20% tip.
Yep, Steve Cuozzo is off his meds, or something.

By all means, let's keep copying everything Europe does because it's a fucking utopia over there. Seriously! There's no crime, no problems, no racism, all the people are happy, everyone is prospering, and the governments are the most well run in the world.
I mean, what a disgrace this country is actually creating a system where people are financially rewarded for exception service rather than just being handed money no matter if they work hard or not.
