I paid for my plane ticket for my vacation with the money I saved from not tipping.
Why didn't you tip? You should always tip.
Tipping became an obligation, I was sick of it. Where else am I expected to pay for the employees rather than the buisness?
Personally I agree with you, but the only one being hurt is the server. If you oppose tipping, then punish the restaurant industry by not eating out. And the money you'd save from *that* could buy a luxury hotel for that vacation!
I still want to eat out. But I shouldn't be forced to pay tips in order to eat.
But it is expected to tip when you eat out since service workers do not get paid well and your tips are needed for them to make a living. By taking a seat you are making it hard for them and it is not hurting the business at all.
