What’s to understand?

Tipping is an optional thing that you don’t have to do if you don’t want to do it. They don’t pay taxes on their tips. The bosses have somehow made it legal to pay people less than minimum wage if they might get a tip. They think tipping is mandatory but it isn’t. You don’t have to do it.

Exactly. They don't pay their fair share. Like the millionaires and billionaires. More taxes, please, I say!

Actually you're wrong. Servers get taxed on a PRESUMED 8% tip. If they don't report any tips they get audited on this exact number. So unless you have a total creep server, if you stiff them, you are actually costing them money.

I'm a VERY generous tipper. 20-25% MINIMUM. It breaks my heart when I get really crummy service, because then I "only" leave 10-15%. I never stiff for this reason.
