3. Research shows that tipping in a restaurant has little to no effect on service. What tipping does

to state, it is safe to say that customers are paying the lion's share of servers' salaries. This

excellent service to grateful customers.

There shouldn't be anyone else here at this hour, Shia thought to himself as he looked at his watch.
The only illumination came from Shia's computer monitor. His office was on the thirtieth floor, far
too high to get much more than a faint glow from the street lights below. Shia slowly stood up
before reaching down to turn off the computer screen, hoping to hide in the darkness. He
considered turning on his phone's flashlight, but his thoughts were cut short by a loud crash
followed by the unmistakable tinkling of shattered glass.
