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

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.

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.

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.

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.
