Having a philosophical problem this custom does not make one cheap. It's some straight sucker shyt that we've all been duped into, automatically, participating in.

Should have also added:
-Pretends to "take a stand" against tipping due to specious philosophical issues

Its just amazing to me that a country that refuses to pay millions in the workforce a livable wage, because apparently CEO's and business owners cant afford it, is the same country that continually obsesses over everyday black people not tipping servers enough. Thats beyond hypocrisy, but thats America for you.

I tip well. Start at 15% and go up a % for every refill. Then I'll add on if the server is actually good and I usually tip on the tax and round up after all that. It's easy to get 30% out of me.
But for bad service, I'll leave a message, like 17 cents and a half a piece of gum to let them know what I thought.

I have a very simple rule:
-Great outstanding service: I round up to the nearest multiple
-Ok service: 10%
-Terrible service: one lonely dollar

I don't think people "obsess" over it to be honest. It's just one of those things that's true and it gets acknowledged, especially here. No other message board I go to talks about it as much as it's talked about here and I'd be willing to bet this board is predominately black.
You make a good point, though. When it comes down to it, I guess it's just a social norm that some choose to follow and others don't.
*shrug*
I honestly wish the institution of tipping was deaded and that prices at full service restaurants simply went up 18-25% across the board so we could simply stop having this discussion. You wouldn't have to feel "duped", cheap fukks would be priced out and servers that everyone suddenly seems to care so much about (but only when discussing tipping) would get a fair wage. Win for everyone.Taking a stand? It's not a protest. Some just choose not participate in sucker shyt.

Waiters and waitresses should be paid a decent sum depending on restaurant and area
They should be receivable just like fast food employees

Most servers at mid-level to high end restaurants in decent areas do pretty well and wouldn't trade their tips for that "decent sum" if you gave them the choice. So there's also that to contend with.

Theres just no way to satisfy everyone including the customers. The average person is a dumb fickle person.
I worked in a seaside restaurant and dated a couple waitresses
None of those bytches would trade their tips for $20 an hour straight
...that indoctrination is REAL. 
I swear some version of this thread gets made every month

Not with this level of empiricism though.
There was SOME data in this one at least.
