I hate having to leave a tip. I always do, but it really irks me that I have to.

Waiters and waitresses, in a round about way, earn the full minimum wage for their state and usually more. If their tips don’t equal or surpass the minimum wage, the restaurant, by law, has to pay the difference.

Also, because servers expect a tip, it does not improve service.

Tipping should be optional not mandatory.
