SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/99.7 Now) – It’s a question many of us ask when we go out to a restaurant. “How much should I tip?” Whether your service is good or bad, San Francisco restaurant workers want to implement a 25% standard tip onto your bill for you. Is this fair?
Many in the food industry say “…yes, it’s about time.” However, many “foodies” are not as happy with the idea. According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, for the most part, people, on average tip between 15% – 20% and the restaurant worker actually has to claim 15% of that to the IRS.

Do not like the idea,
Here is why.

If the wait staff knows going in they will get 25% regardless, why should the go over and above, out of their way to give better service.

This.

I will frequently tip 25% anyway if I get good service, but I don't want that to become forced.

Bad move. Tips stands for To Insure Proper Service, not give me 25% even if im clueless. Earn your money like the rest of us. I tip for good service 35-50% of the tab. I got no problem tipping but this is not good imo.
