Served: Why Tipping Makes Everyone Uncomfortable

I find this whole debate rather interesting. I do not think that the tip should be added in to the bill. Traditionally a tip is something extra that is given for good service. Unfortunately too often, it is expected, there is a sense of entitlement to the tip. As a former server, I was initially trained on how to serve properly. It always amazes me when a server never returns to see who the meal was? There are some servers who will only return larger bills instead of breaking down the change. Give and you shall receive. If your performance is outstanding you will be rewarded as such. However I firmly believe that tipping for bad service is akin to rewarding for bad behavior.

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

To eat more oatmeal, I did Atkins a number of years ago and gave up all carb and grains.
