Don't Forget to Tip Your Waitress

With rising food costs and fewer customers, restaurant staffing is just another thing to deal with: "The result is that even experienced servers say they can't get work, and restaurants are turning away an unprecedented number of applicants. Waiters and waitresses who do have jobs say they're taking home less money in tips, because patrons are economizing by ordering less food and leaving a lower-percentage gratuity on their checks."
