In the US, servers and bartenders are essentially unpaid by their "employers" as they rely on the 20%+ tips to survive.
But that's just it. Why should customers have to participate in the arbitrary service known as tipping simply because the restaurant owners are too fucking irresponsible to pay their waitstaff a living wage?
you either pay their salary in tip form or via higher drink prices
at least with tipping you can sway things in your favor
