Seriously?

It's clear you've never had to compete at the low end of the wage scale.

Tipping is part of the cost of dining out. If restaurant had no tipping and simply paid servers what they'd make with tips, it would be factored into the cost of the meal and you'd end up spending the same amount of money anyway. And complaining about the high cost of dining out.

At least this way you have an out. If you don't want to tip, just don't.
