BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- It's been around since the 17th century, so why is it that so many of us are still lost when it comes to tipping? Who gets one, when and how much?

"People that tip really well, that's one thing people should know, it changes that waiters day," waiter Stuart Bond said.

But just because tips make people in the service industry feel good and for some are what they depend on does not mean they will always see one.

"I look at tipping as you're in Vegas rolling dice. It's a crap shoot. I've had some tips when it's just 0," waiter Tony Taylor said.

In today's fast-paced world where there are more and more services offered at our fingertips, knowing when, who and how much to tip can be daunting.

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- An affadavit obtained by FOX6 News confirms police's belief that a young mother shot and killed while holding her newborn was
an innocent bystander.

According to the document, the intended target
was 24-year-old Sherri Williams' brother, Torey Williams.

Police say that Williams was standing in the doorway of her apartment a week ago, holding her newborn boy, when she was shot in the chest.

Neighbors told officers that two girls were fighting in front of a store across the street and Torey tried to break it up. That's when alleged shooter, 20-year-old Corderious McLellan, drove up and began shooting while Torey ran in the direction of his sister's apartment.

McLellan has been charged with capital murder and is being held on no bond at the Jefferson County Jail.
