Deleted paragraph claiming patrons receive "verbal abuse" by wait staff when not tipped properly:

Tipping in the United States is so common and expected in some cases that in many service establishments, such as hair salons and restaurants, customers are actually asked by employees (verbally or with posted messages) to give a tip, or are verbally abused by staff for "stiffing" them, even though such behavior on the part of the staff is considered completely contrary to proper etiquette and standard professional business practices.

The source cited was an unverifiable opinion piece:

Commentator on said article said thus: "Also, sometimes you are even called back if you don't leave a tip and are abused. The question is, why should I have to pay for someone else's low salary?

If you don't mind, I've referenced this blog post on Wikipedia while making a short addition about this unfortunate "bribery". Here is the section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip#Consequences_of_not_tipping"

As the edit comes from a place of personal bias, it lacks Wikipedia's standard of neutrality.
