TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Some seem to be missing the point: If we pay more but don't tip, we spend the same money as if we pay less but have to tip.
And no place is going to lose my business, just for introducing a change in which their prices stay the same; but now the staff are less vulnerable to the whims of customers affecting them getting a living wage.
If anything, such a progressive establishment would get greater custom from me and others like me. Why? Because it eliminates an unpleasant aspect of dining out (splitting a bill and trying to agree on a tip - some people dislike discussing money in public). Also, you'd know that corrupt management aren't helping themselves to a cut of the tips; as does happen.
