If you are paid wages to serve the food on the plate and to place that plate
in front of the cusomer then that is what you are paid wages to do.

In the U.S. the minimum wage for servers is lower than for other workers,
and the tax folk assume you get tips. Like it or not, that's the custom,
and anybody who doesn't tip at all for normal service is a cheap *******,
who will likely get all sorts of festive additives to his food if he comes
back.

suggested much stronger terms.]
