Ya but business will get the money out of the customer one way or the other.. if tipping were eliminated and servers were paid more we'd just take the blow in higher prices. At least with the tipping system we get to decide what the server earns based on his service.
And yes if you dont tip (if your service was good) you are a stingy and really dont deserve the service you got. Some people also just dont realize in a bad situation, tipping can be your leverage to force some good service out of your server. I love seeing a slack server suddenly get on the ball when you put your tip money on the table and tell them for every fuck up or 10 minutes that go by without checking in, 2 bux gets removed from the table and goes back into the wallet. Thats a last resort but sometimes has to be done. And it is effective.
