Since Igor718 doesn't own the restaurant in question, I don't see why it's any of his concern how much the waiters' are getting paid.
And why shouldn't he go out to dinner if he doesn't want to tip as much as you like to? Unlike the bill itself, which is the price you agree to pay when you order the meal, a tip is a voluntary gratuity.
