My beef with the concept of tipping is that it can come off as disingenuous, and you’ll get some waiters who will judge you the second you walk in a restaurant off what they think you’re going to tip or not tip. The person coming in eating solo isn’t as much a priority as the family of 4 coming in who may tip more etc. If they think you won’t tip well, sometimes it’ll show in the service. The restaurant industry has had a bad reputation of labeling various groups as either good or poor tippers just off how they look.
I tip based off the service I receive. I really don’t care much for the concept of tipping, but I’m not going to take that grievance out on the person serving me.
I also wouldn’t vilify someone like Master Zik or nawghtyhare either because I totally get their stance and reasoning on this topic as well.
Id rather just pay more for a set price on the food and the waiters get a better wage. But I’m sure most waiters prefer the current setup because for every occasional non tipper they get, most are tipping strictly off social norms even in cases where they didn’t get top notch service.
