Amen! I'm grateful to have always had manual labor jobs as a farm kid and a lumber yard job in college. I actually enjoy hard work, but not retail or food service. I love the people who serve me and cook for my family. It is a huge break as a mom and I figure if we can afford to eat out, we can afford a 25 percent tip. Sometimes more. Especially for younger kids. They need to be praised - I have written letters to their manager(S) for exceptional service. Which can be handy down the road :). Love your servers and cooks! They will be kind in return!

I worked in manual labor jobs most of my life as well. As for people that think its okay to feel like a big shot at the expense of others its asinine. Most of the people that work those sorts of jobs can't even afford to eat or get things from the places where they even work.
I've written letters too and in some cases like when I was in the Philippines the pizza was really weird and all of the toppings just slid onto the floor. I didn't eat it, didn't complain, left a sizeable tip and just went somewhere else.
