“Belmar, New Jersey: Waitress Says Diners Left Her No Tip and ‘LOL’ Note on Receipt
Jess Jones, who works at D’Jais Bar & Grill, wrote on Facebook that a table of eight with a $112 bill wrote “LOL” next to the tip line with the comment “1 hour for food.”

Was this the waitperson’s fault? if not, what should the diners have done to register their displeasure?

Some restaurants are now ending tipping and adding a mandatory fee to the bill so that they can pay their employees (kitchen help too) a better wage. Is this a fairer plan?
