I'm not going to allow myself to fall into the trap of blaming underpaid, overworked waitstaff for what is nothing more than another horrible decision by WDW management.
What I plan on doing is apologizing to the servers for their having to feel uncomfortable about the tip, tipping them generously (if service warrants it, of course) and complaining bitterly to management about how ridiculously cumbersome and user-unfriendly the new system is. In fact, it's highly unlikely that the manager at every single sit-down restaurant we eat in next month won't get an earful from me. :mad:
No, it wasn't their decision, but management in any organization is a conduit to the senior executives. That's part of their role and they're just going to have to deal with it.
