On the topic of the tipping deal, in Arizona the minimum wage is $7.80 an hour. If you are a waiter / waitress though, your employer can legally pay you just $4.80 an hour because it is expected that you will at least make up the difference in tips, and they get taxed accordingly.
If you don't tip in this scenario you are actually costing the server money.
Don't be that guy.
Yeah that's a server serving me... A van driver is totally different. And per diem is for food not to supplement a hotels poor pay. No one helps me with my pay. Especially after taking a 8$ pay cut. I don't mind if ppl tip or if they don't tip. It's a personal decision.
