Meh, "whore" generally has a secondary definition of simply being promiscuous rather than requiring payment, so RoJo, you're good there.
As for the rest... is the existence of the word "whore" with no decent male equivalent sexist? Probably. Is using it to refer to a particular woman who fits the definition? Nah.
TBBS hypersensitivity strikes again.

What does prostitution have to do with tipping people
I don't believe the complainants were disputing the meaning of the term.
Must... avoid.... crude.... joke.
Words can hurt like a fist.
FWIW: It seems like an odd thing to criticize a person on. While strictly speaking a "whore" is a woman who is overly promiscuous or someone who has sex to money at the same time it's also can be used as just a "generic insult" to a woman's character without suggesting she actually has sex for money.
I mean when we call a man a douchebag we're not literally saying he's a key component to feminine hygiene products.

Gotta love the group of men on here that seem to instantly take the ultra-femanist position when things like this come up. Often more offended than the girls! Now we just need Hermiod in here to argue that it's unfair and 'reverse sexist' that we're only calling women whores... 
The word is out there, and not always used with sexist intent. Entertaining that we're now calling Rohojen a liar because our mind-reading abilities know what he intended better than he did...
Can we get back to the discussion of the people that bring us our food in exchange for the promise of our loose change (not whores? Doing something they see as demeaning and beneath them in exchange for the promise of money from people they don't appear to like...), and not the ones that are accepting special deliveries from the UPS guy?

No, I'm not done discussing whores, or lack of such.
That would make her "best neighbor ever".
Ehhh. Depends on the look of the woman. Walking to the school bus one more a friend's mother stepped out onto the front porch shirtless to yell at him he forgot his bookbag. This woman looked like Rosanne Barr mixed with a healthy dose of Rosie O'Donnell.
Probably set back my sexual maturity by a decade.
Folks who just don't tip - well, they may as well just get used to being treated like shit, and they deserve it.

Interesting story there.
I once tipped $500 on a $600 bill. However, I've also walked out without tipping if the service is the shits (i.e. no water refills; constantly bringing us the wrong entree's and desserts; food is cold; bad attitude; etc...). Typically, I tip between 15%-20% though.
I do however, believe that tips are something that is earned for good service and not something you're entitled to... regardless of how the economics work for the restaurant or the server. Fortunately, I'm easy to please and 95% of the time I'll leave a good tip.
It seems to me that if servers have a problem with getting stiffed, they need to lobby governments to not allow restaurateurs to pass off the cost of labour onto the consumer. If wait staff want better pay and working conditions, the onus is on them to make it happen. That's how it works everywhere else, so don't expect special treatment for your crybaby sensibilities. Either that or change jobs. I went to university so that I wouldn't have to wait tables and thank the good Lord that I am fortunate and blessed enough to now have a well-paying job.
As someone mentioned before in this thread, waiting tables is a job that has a low value placed on it by society at-large (not accounting for higher end restaurants... let's assume diners, Red Robin, etc... for this conversation). So regardless of the fact that it most certainly is a difficult job to wait tables, society at large puts a lower economic value on it than say an engineer, foreman, doctor, etc...

Oh grow up. Men who pull up their skirts and start screaming at the sight of a fat woman are as bad as the whore brigade.
This is the way I do it as well.
