You have to wonder why tipping is a supposed norm because the waitstaff isn’t being paid enough - where does it say that in society we have to help pay the wages of some servers who just take the order and deliver the food; I’ve seen tip buckets at cash registers for someone just taking your money for the food you ordered.
