On a local Fox "rant" segment on the evening news the other evening a tired old waitress complained that gamblers on the Casino floor were not coughing up coin of the realm for drinkie-poohs she plunked down by their one-armed bandits while they were busy trying their luck.
"Las Vegas is a tipping town," she hissed on the station's voice mail unit.
"If you aren't going to tip, then don't come to Las Vegas," she angrily added before slamming down the telephone.
Boy, does this loser have shit for brains!
A few days ago, I published guidelines on tipping in the exotic desert oasis, and underscored in particular that tips were discretionary in Vegas (and cited the reasons why).

If that was not the case, Management would impose a mandatory surcharge of 10% - 15% on each tab like they do overseas in Europe.
Just try to stiff a snooty French waiter at a sidewalk cafe!
On this side of the big pond, it's a simple matter to hustle up a tip, though.
For starters, move your ass, honey!
And, deliver up the cocktail promptly, with a smile on your face (and a cheerful disposition if at all possible).
Surely your face won't crack!
Standing around with your thumb up your butt begging for tips just doesn't cut it.
Have you no self-respect?
Bottom line?
Don't punish the patrons because you hate your job and have to toil to make ends meet.
If you can't cut it, then hang up your apron, and make room for a thankful employee who pines for a job in these tough economic times.
Tipping may not be a place in China - but it is also not compulsory - especially when it comes to lay-abouts without any work ethic who expect the world to pay their way in life.
As Joan Rivers would quip:
Grow up!
