While traveling in Bangalore to Hazarat Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express i have come across the tip menace by the servers.The servers employed by private caterers have made it a regular practice to collect tips from all the passengers.Whether railways will put an end to this menace?

I had the same experience but when waiter came to me with a tray and said 'Nameste Sir' I said Nameste and start looking outside window - after couple of minutes he left - so better to ignore them

I have traveled in Sealdah Rajdhani , there the server asked for tip . Same in the case of HWH - RNC Shatabdi . Same in the case of a snack bar where I had lunch with my parents day before yesterday (23rd July , 2011 [Sat]) . This "Tip" culture is an Evil Social Menace introduced by Britishers during their rule in India . It's about time that our Central Govt (Food Mins along with Company Affairs Mins) jointly abolish this practice like "Lagaan" from our food establishments (Trains/Restaurants/Snack Bars etc ) . What say ??

Surprisingly, I haven't travelled by the Rajdhani or Shatabdi.I may embark on a voyage during ONAM, especially with the introduction of the gleaming new LHB coaches of TVC Rajdhani.
PS. Do we get RAILBANDHOOS in Rajdhani ?
