Thinking that over tipping is actually harmful to the employees sounds like a cop out reason NOT to tip...
It might sound like that...
if you ignored my post where I stated I'd BEEN a server and
if you ignored my post where I stated I DO tip, 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20% for outstanding service, plus I let the manager know it was outstanding. And no tip for BAD service, with a heads up to the manager.

My average tip is 18% because most service around here is good, better than average, but not outstanding. So far in the 6+ years I've lived here, I've only once left no tip and alerted the manager. That makes it a solid half-dozen times in my entire life, when I've not tipped a "tipped employee."
