I thought I read recently the BVI's has no restaurant tax? Assuming that, I agree. If the owner wants to add a 15% service charge - there's your employee's tip! If the owner decides to steal some/all of it I didn't create that situation - the owner did! With that said, I've been to several places in Europe where the servers are paid a working wage and the norm is to leave a little change for superior service. One place in France the waiters had to cross the street to get to most of the tables and they were working very hard; we left our change. Just because we are used to the "good service for a good tip" paradigm doesn't mean that is the only right way. I worked for over 30 years without tips, I just wanted to keep my job. Incentive enough.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
