The only place tipping even makes sense is at a sit down restaurant, and only after excellent service has been given. Tipping for simply completing your defined job responsibilities is absurd.
In most States in the United States the server minimum wage is less than the minimum wage. In my State it's 5.50/hour. If you don't tip then they're not making enough money to live.
If they don't earn enough tips to make a full minimum wage the employer has to cover the difference. This system only exists because it benefits both the employer and the employee by offloading the wage costs onto the customer.
