Dick, you're a closet liberal! Don't worry, your dirty secret is safe with us.

FWIW, I agree about tipping, and service in europe (generally). I think
servers are professionals and should be treated as such, with a salary.

Hunt, it is generally considered bad form to leave an additional restaurant
tip here in France. Never been quite sure (as a foreigner) about the
exact logic behind this, but I've been told that an extra gratuity should
be small enough to be interpreted as a token of appreciation, not an
additional payment.
