As I remember from my bartending days long ago, both tippers and non-tippers are remembered. They sure are watching you.
It's crazy in the in the US, where as I hear some waiters get no wage, only tips. But as a pro free market advocate, I see this as a natural situation forcing servicepeople to be nice. Those are short term jobs and plenty of people woudn't care to work well if it wasn't affecting them right away.
Imagine someone who knows they will quit next week and allows themselves to be rude to customers. In the long run they would hurt the workplace's standard, but they don't care. Tips-only situation fixes that and makes them work with a smile to their last customer.
