As I am travelling overseas again, specifically in the US; I was searching for good places and restaurants to go to and come across this legendary blog: Waiter Rant. A New York waiter's experiences and the hot topic of tipping!
Another blog, this one is a west coast waiter's tales in the famous/infamous (depending on how you look at it!) Hollywood, LA resto Spago and Poison Ivy. Nice reading and plenty of valuable advice, especially on tipping (again!) that waiters in the US always rant about.
I must say that US waiters, next to US actors; are a well awarded bunch of people. People always are grateful of waiters for a job well done and pat on the back with a hefty tip! I wish people here at work do that to me... sigh...

On Waiter Rant, read the article on tipping (which one?). The one with a pseudo letter of a waiter to PM Gordon Brown. Inthe comment section you'll find "Kevin Rudd's" comment... hint... hint... wink... wink!
Just a note of info, in Australia tipping is very optional and is a reward for an excellent service, just so you know. One is not hounded by fake service just to get a hefty tip!
