I think that's different, since servers are paid a reduced wage based on the presumption that that people will tip 15%.
That is actually true about many service jobs.
Really? I've never heard of that outside of servers. (Farm workers are another category with reduced minimum wage reqs, but not really relevant here.)
Although possibly I have been engaging in jackassery when it comes to not tipping sole proprietors.
That's what I learned, but it always seemed awkward. (And sometimes, how would you know?)
And, lo, I have to report for jury duty tomorrow, which means I need to clear my calendar of meetings now.
(And sometimes, how would you know?)
If I don't 100% know, I err on the side of tipping. (To avoid the aforementioned jackassery. As well as nincompoopery.)
as far as I know medical massage means no tip and the hospital around here that dies them is supposed to be really good
Agreed on the sole proprietor/owner thing, in theory (but agree that it feels weird sometimes).

Farm workers?!? Really, what's the justification there? They're not getting tipped! And they're working really hard!
That said, in some places the waiters get minimum wage (here in Washington) which means with tips, those are pretty good paying jobs (relatively). Thus all the people who move here, become waiters and bartenders and baristas while pursuing some other interest.
I suspect it's good that I've never had to rely on a wait staff job, as no matter how good the tips are they wouldn't cover bail after my reaction to some of the customer behavior I've seen from fellow diners.
So, this is why I get mad at CNN and think it is worthless at times:

Not the minimum wage thing, but for most baristas, hair dressers, manicurists, hotel staff, and casino dealers, 40-50% of their income comes from tips. For food delivery, I believe it was far higher.
Personally I find the whole tipping system ridiculous, but now that I know that reality, I work with that frame of reference.

Speaking of doctors, I'm going to the eye doctor today, and am seriously considering Zenni for new glasses. Has anyone actually used them? Anything I need to know?
I've used Zenni and I love them. I have like 7 pairs of glasses that I have gotten there. But my PD measurement is perfect and my astygmatism mild. LOVE.

How did Wolf Blitzer keep a straight face?
