'I'd probably start refusing service to all the morons that come out to eat and act all entitled': Waiters dish on what would change drastically if restaurant tipping suddenly ended

While eating at restaurants, do you tip your waitstaff some of the time, all the time, or never? While the standards differ between countries and states, in America, tipping is just the way of life. 

Most waiters have to survive off tips, and they can rake in the cash if they get a busy shift full of generous diners. But one person had a question for the Redditors of r/TalesFromYourServer: "For American Servers - what bulls*** would stop today if you didn't work for tips? As in, you're paid a competitive living wage by your employer. What are you no longer putting up with from diners/customers?"

The answers were so enlightening about the kinds of customer habits that waiters have to put up with. Lots of waitstaff in the comments talked about how they have to put on a song and dance to ensure customers tip them properly – and they'd love to stop, if possible. Others said they'd probably treat their customers mostly the same, but there are other parts of their job that they'd do differently, like avoiding going to a table too many times. 

Dig into the secret life of waiters and waitresses in America below. After that, read about one Redditor who's had enough of his nosy boss, and is asking the internet to help him write a professional "mind your business" email.
