I've been told that writing their name on the check also helps, and that writing their name with a heart over an 'i' or a smiley-face helps even more.
Incidentally, I tip waitresses who do that more now because they're smart enough to apply psychological research to their jobs, which is rad.

What the heck is up with those creepy computer modeled simulations? How hard would it have been to taken pictures of actual people engaged in those situations?
Also, I can't stand people touching me, but I've noticed that a kind hand on the shoulder from a wait person makes me feel better, and thus tip more.

I think it's sad that in this country we don't tip as a tip, but out of guilt because we know the servers are paid atrociously little. That means these people get belittled TWICE - once by their employers and again by their customers. How awful.
I didn't like the one about the touching. I really don't think restaurant servers should be encouraged to be touching people... but obviously some people like it & encourage it. I'm not an unfriendly person... But I believe a little more familiarity is required before any type of touching should occur. A server that touched me on the shoulder would, at best, likely get a confused affronted look from me.

I spent years waiting tables, I don't think I ever squatted. I really could have used that extra couple-a percent to finance my sexwax habit too.
