Does tipping encourage better customer service? Cornell University study found only a weak correlation. Happier servers provide better service. A livable wage (no, $15/hour is not livable in Bend!) with reasonable health and other benefits would make servers & patrons happiest.

I prefer to tip based on service given. Bad service No Tip! Very simple! Good service, gets tip! Great service, Big tip!

This way I have control over how much I want to compensate the server for good service or the lack thereof.

Tipping is based on attitude and job done. Some deserve more than others. I will not go to a restaurant with a Service fee.

Well, I agree with the previous comments, but also, we would need to know the amount of said "fee" before having sufficient information to weigh in with an informed opinion.

I tip based on how well, or poorly, the waitstaff do their job...

In my opinion tipping encourages employees to give their best service. In some areas a good waitress can make a few hundred dollars a day.

Pay people what they deserve. A tip is for good service. It's above and extra. I'm not paying extra for poor service.

Keep the tip. A service fee is no different than raising the price of the meal. Tips are to reward staff for a job well done and for incentive. A motivated employee would make a lower wage without tipping.

I tip more when I'm given good service.

The term TIP came from To Improve Performance. (And it was voluntary, NOT mandatory). The better the service was, the bigger the TIP. The servers knew this and strived for it. A service fee provides no incentive. I will not go to places that have a service fee or automatically add on a gratuity.

NO, it should be based on the level of service received, a service fee would limit good servers big tips and lower their income and incentive to give good service.

To me tipping is a way of recognizing and rewarding good service. I would not go to a service fee establishment.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
