oh yeah, down south is a WHOLE other story. If I was ever forced to live outside of New England again, I would rather dig ditches than wait tables. It's just not worth it, really.
But I'm serious- no one complains about the added gratuity- in fact, I often get an extra $5-$10 thrown in, just to make it an even 20%. I've been waiting tables here for 5 years. I'm a good waitress, I know what I'm doing, I know how people want to be treated and what they expect out of me. THAT's why I get pissed when I get crap tips for no reason.
