A study by researchers at Cornell University and the University of Houston in the US found little relationship between the size of a tip and the quality of service from a waiter or waitress.
The tip, they found, is influenced largely by the amount of the bill and the fear of disappointing the server.
The implication, the researchers say, is that there may be little incentive to provide good service.
In fact, they concluded, waiters and waitresses might be tempted to rush their tables so that more diners could be served.
That could lead to more tips, but could also create a less pleasant dining experience.
