So people really tip 67%? Anyone else think these tipping guidelines sound crazy high?

I will admit though that I hate the whole idea of tipping generally. I wish they would pay the dealers a reasonable amount that they would earn the amount they should without the players feeling like they need to tip them, and the same thing with servers in restaurants, etc. I always tip when I go to a sit down restaurant because I know it is expected, but I think the whole system is messed up, and I dislike it, which is part of the reason I don't go out to eat much. If they would just pay the servers more, and raise the prices to whatever level was necessary to do that, I would patronize the businesses more often.

Go eat at a few restaurants in Europe where tipping is not expected and i'm sure you'll begin to appreciate our service based system.
