If they don't deserve a reward....why should they get a tip?
A basic tip should be left simply for service. Even if a waitress isn't 100% cordial, she is still serving you your food and drinks, and tending to your needs--you aren't having to fetch them yourself. If the service is GOOD, or GREAT, the tip can be increased accordingly.

I agree.
And, if most think a decent tip is 10% then maybe that's why there's a bad rep out there!

He/she gets a wage for that basic service. It is not a big wage. That should serve to motivate them to do an excellent job or get a very small tip. If they fail to do a great job, they will have to learn to live with spare change for a tip.

I totally disagree. A waitress is paid a wage PLUS tips. He/She knows that how he/she performs is what determines the amount of tips he/she will earn. He/She better do it right regardless of whether he/she brought the food to the table or not - he/she knows this when they take this type of job.
You are also right on - "If the service is GOOD or GREAT, the tip can be increased accordingly."

i eat out alot ,single and i dont like to cook, plus i aint no cook, and clean up too i always tip well mostly 20 percent. its rarely the waitress problem if service is slow, its lack of staff and talent in the kitchen, not there fault! i also leave cash most of the time. the goverment gets more than there fair share imo . it makes up for the quarter droppers also, cant stand cheap skates! ie those who can afford to tip well and wont !
