Are you implying we need to eat out because it is our responsibility to ensure that restaurant staff make a living wage? If restaurants payed their employees properly, tipping would be unnecessary and probably nonexistent. Customers have been conned into this tipping15, 20 and higher % because WE are their welfare subsidies. And the bs crack about "if you can't afford the tip", is just a passive-aggressive insult.
