I do it because it likely isn't the waiter/waitresses fault they're stuck in a shitty system that encourages the customers to pay their salaries instead of their bosses.

If the tip system wasn't in place food would be way more expensive, then everyone would be b****ing how expensive it is to eat out.
can't give the shaft without the tip

Where else are they going to make up the loss of profit margins? They would be giving each employee at least a $5 an hour raise which could add up to a 6 figure loss per year if it's a heavily employed restaurant.
if you scrapped tipping most sit down full service restaurants would disappear to the likes
the ignorant belief is the complaining part since the rest of the world is just fine. a bullshit reason people who want to keep the scam custom ongoing use to fool the ignorant.

Where do you think the "scam" is? Where do you think money comes from? The owner of the restaurant does not just generate money out of thin air. His or her money comes from the revenue generated from the patrons. He doesn't just have a big bag of cash in the back that he's too greedy to hand out to his employees.
If I order a burger and it's $9 I tip 20% and pay $10.80. If tipping is abolished the price of that burger simply goes up to $10.80 and I pay... $10.80, with less guarantee of good service.
I don't know how else to explain this. YOU ARE PAYING, either way. If tipping goes away, somebody else isn't picking up the tab. You're still paying it.

no sit down restaurants exsist outside of america
gee. how does the rest of the world seem to manage just fine. notice its the actual scammers/ex scammers that try to keep the dumb custom going.
there's also the ignorant belief from the scammers that hovering around the customer like a blood sucking mosquito = good service.
protips for being a good waiter
greet customer
offer recommendations ONLY if asked
take order
bring order
DO NOT approach table unless customer gestures for you
doing that warrants min wage. thats all the role is WORTH.
now of a customer feels generous, they can choose to throw the dog a bone. however, not doing so doesn't make them a "dick".
can't give the shaft without the tip
Because they don't even make minimum wage. They make like 3 bucks an hour on a check
business that increases their employees' hourly pay from $14 an hour to $18 an hour
Cuz they fucking earned it
whos fault is that? their own entirely, they signed up for it.
a fact you keep denying, but service would be worse on average too.

where do i deny food prices would increase? i even said quite clearly its better to pay a set increase than guess what each scammer deems minimum acceptable tip %

hovering like a blood sucking mosquito isnt good service. good service, the customer wouldn't even notice that the waiter was there.
leave it to the american ego to think the highlight of the customer's night is the server lmfao.
