I blame the system here, but am not responsible for it. This is a system that people generally have to choose to be in. And I don't intend to suffer for it. But if I ever find that a place I eat at pays it's servers less than minimum wage, I promise to stop eating there. I'm making that promise to you, and I will keep it. It's not going to help the waiters any, but I'll do it, it's just going to deprive them of the tip they would have gotten 95% of the time, but I'll do it.

I'll won't give any more rebuttals, because I said I was done with this, and I've already sort of broken that. None of my responses now can be anything I haven't said before.
How are you not responsible for it? You are funding the system, and refusing to correct it. How do you think the system would solve the problem of assholes like you? The ONLY answer is to raise the prices. So tipping is exactly the same as if the system was fixed, but you don't see fit to do it.

The fact is you see people who are depending on you to not mistreat them, and you piss in their face because, evidently, fuck them for hoping you'd just shell out the extra money that would be on the bill anyway if everybody was a fuck like you.

And I can't believe you're so stupid as to think by not eating out you're depriving waiters of money. If restaurants suddenly stop getting customers, they'll get rid of the tip thing. If they stay open, that means people are still coming, which means people who aren't cheap assholes are fixing the system, instead of taking advantage of it.
