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.
That’s the restaurants problem, not yours. They also get the normal non-tipped minimum wage too. The tipped wage + tips still need to hourly equal the non-tipped wage at the end of the day or the restaurant has to pay the difference. So if the minimum wage is $8, and the tipped wage is $5, if no one tips at all, the the restaurant has to make up that extra $3/hr out of their own pocket or their breaking the law.
