Instead, he told me that he was going to pick certain tables for good service (and good tips) and he'd get to the rest when he could.

相反，他说他会挑选几桌客人精心服务(也会得到丰厚的小费)，有余力的时候才会去招呼其他的客人。

It has also been found that tips have become less about a reward for good service but rather a kind of surcharge on any service, whether good, adequate or even poor.

也有研究发现小费已经不再是服务得好的奖励了，而成了一种服务的附加费用，不管他们的服务是好、一般还是很差。
