Tipping isn't as bad as you think. It's basically the only thing that keeps the restaurant industries service standards from becoming as terrible as elsewhere. Now granted, I'm right with you on the basic concept in general being annoying and stupid, but have you dealt with shit customer service in America? My god you practically need to brandish your gun to get people to move off their fat American ass. At least with tipping when I've got a truly rank cunt of a waitress I can choose to tip zero and watch them throw a fit.

I've had terrible service in America and every other table was still giving them huge tips so it didn't make any difference.

Privilege guilt in America is too damn high.

Americans are stupid about it. The tipping system stops working if you give out tips for bad service. Restaurants aren't a charity. You should tip what you think the service is worth. It's not supposed to be a charity.
