Mandatory tipping in California???

I tip a little over 100% at the Waffle King. They give all LEO, EMS, Hospital staff etc in uniform a 50% discount. So my meal that usually runs about 8.50 ends up at 4.25 and I leave a 5 dollar tip. Sometimes a little more..just depends. I never have understood why the tip is based on the amount paid for the meal. It should be based on things like glass refilled without asking, not having to get up and go find the server, napkins, hot coffee and smiles. I mean...If I go in a diner to meet with someone, and only drink coffee but tie up a table for an hour or so...what? I'm going to tip 15% of the price of a cup of coffee with bottomless refills? no way that's fair. One thing to watch for I've learned is when you have a large party and they include the tip in the bill. I wonder how many people don't notice and figure a tip on top of an already tipped bill? I am pretty sure I've double tipped before...probably a lot when alcohol is involved lol

i dont tip at all if gratuity was added in for me

i dont tip on account of poor service, but that does sound like 50 bucks well spent and it sounds like the replacement server earned it

but what if you just got bait and switched? like good cop bad cop lol

Then that would be a good 'un on me, LOL.....

i thought if it's poor service you're suppose to tip 1 cent?

Having lived in P.D.S.R. California for far too long, allow me two observations:

1. The article was printed in a satire or joke website.

2. The goobers who run P.D.S.R. California probably either believe it to be true, OR think it's a good idea.

(Don't believe me? Those nitwit re-elected Governor Moonbeam.)

I know a couple of people who would be in BIG trouble with a law like this around here.

-Seriously, I know a person who tips in pocketchange. (And not much of that.)
