    So let’s say you go buy a car, do you leave a coupple thousands more for good measure?

      Car sales people are paid on commission. If servers were paid on commission then your argument would make sense. If car sales peole were paid less than minimum wage, your argument might make sense. Neither of these is the case, so it doesn’t.

        Tipping then should be a fix amount. Is not like if i pay 15$ for a pasta or 50$ for a stake there is a differenze in service.

        Once it’s a fix amount, they could… Drumrolls… Include it in the menu prices!

        Anyway i know is not your fault and it’s the american system that is cheating but you can vote with your wallet

          Tipping shouldn’t exist because people should be paid a living wage.

            Exactly what I wrote. Include it in the menu price so that they can “afford” to pay their staff

            Agreed, which is why I’m against tipping. I refuse to support people getting paid an unfair wage.
