But as for missing a point…. What you write sounds nice (in an insulting kind of way) but it doesn’t reflect today's reality. Tipping may be a bribe and tipping may be a scam but tipping is customary in the US and tipping often provides a major part of a server’s income.

Sorry, I think you did.
The expression used to describe how I view tipping, "in an insulting kind of way", is a reflection of how I feel everytime I am emotionally blackmailed into participating in this caste system practice of rewarding the menials/servants for performing some service out of the goodness of their hearts, or out of fear of rebuke. Waitstaff are very important to restaurants and deserve proper pay based on the difficult and diverse aspects of their jobs, not basesed on the price of the item the customer choice of food. As said in an earlier post, weird business model.
