Michigan server who got $10,000 tip says she was fired in ensuing dispute

People hold out on tips because of food taste/quality due to cooks/chefs making mistakes. The wait staff are the ones taking the risk financially and should be the ones to reap the reward when it's a positive.

If my service is tops and food meh, I'm not blaming the server. My tip doesn't change.

That's why I struggle when food is excellent and service is just ok.

And ftr, if I'm comped my meal, I'll still tip off the original amount.
