Do all of you low tippers go to museums and concerts with a "recomended donation" and say "fuck that, you can't make me pay, I'm only giving you a dollar?"
You don't have to tip. If you don't want to tip, go to McDonalds or Pizza Hut. If you're only going to tip 10%, I think you should tell your waiter, so he or she only provides you with half the service he or she normally would.
In our current system, going to a restaraunt involves two financial transactions: You are paying the restaraunt for the food, and you are paying the waiter (who is basically an independant contractor hired by you) to bring you the food. If you can't afford to pay the waiter, eat someplace cheaper. Eating at a table enters you into an implied social contract with the waiter that you will pay them about 15%-20% of the value of the food and drinks they bring you.
I've never worked in the food service industry, but it baffles me when people get self righteous about paying for services rendered, merely because they aren't forced.
