Hopefully you're not referring to me, because I haven't complained about any tips in this thread.

Also, strangely enough, the successful ones will tell you they never give a customer lesser service because that customer left them an insufficient tip on a prior occasion. Star servers seem to have a certain mindset.
Agree wholeheartedly. I don't ever count my money until the end of the night, and even if it's less than average, I just assume it will all even out at the end of the week. As to taking care of those known to tip a little more frugally, you always have to take care of them just as well, because if you give them superior service, they might tell one of their well-tipping friends
