McDonalds at least pays a minimum wage with benefits.
I am also for no tipping at all, but I think you're way out of line with the attacks on waiters as a profession.
And the suggestion that no single one of them is worth more than $20,000 per year is absurd. Go eat dinner at any T.G.I. Friday's. Then have dinner at any Michelin-starred restaurant. When you've finished, report back to us that both sets of waitstaff should be paid the same. And try to do it with a straight face.
