Also, this may be shaky logic, but staying home in effect has the same outcome as not tipping. I end up depriving the restaurant of business. Provided the place isn't so packed that I'm taking the space of another customer. In fact, everytime I don't go out to eat, I'm depriving a waiter somewhere of a proper wage. Should I go out to eat every night in a crusade to save the waiting world? Should I go out to eat in every restaurant at once, at all times?
Three, I do tip. I'm pretty sure my tipping habits over the last year average out to at least 15%. Curious. Does that make a difference at all? Or is anyone who goes out without tipping an asshole, regardless of his past tipping history?
This must be annoying to everyone at this point, so I'm officially done with this now. Promise. It's obvious no one agrees with me and no one is going to change my mind.

So you know the min salary of serving staff in each place you visit? And you think minimum wage is enough to make a living...its not take an economic course
Funny that average salary of California server is 2% LESS then the rest of America.
I love that you blame the system spoken like a true African American. The system is the problem not the people. Its the people who make the system and take avantage of it and you are one of them.
I am glad Keith cited the Cornell research done proving that blacks as a whole tip less. Just cause you say you tip more doesn't prove the study wrong. Heck you tipping a min of 15% means that there are people tipping much less than you. Again take a math class and learn percentages
