Because a server makes about $2 an hour and the restaurant requires you to tip in order to have them make a livable wage. I think we should move away from it but if you go to a restaurant that supports tipping then you should tip. Tip more for great service but tipping nothing or next to nothing is just scummy behavior regardless of service.

That's great, I think we should abolish tipping culture
If they aren't bringing your food then they aren't a server
So the foh staff is paid a normal wage?
Server has nothing to do with presentation. Have you ever worked in that field?
You know the server doesn't cook, right?
Carlin cared a great deal. His whole career was about bringing things to light. He was just cynical and vulgar in his presentation.
Ya'll are all wrong. Tipping is to compensate the 2 dollars they make an hour. It's a shitty system, but that's the deal. If you don't want to tip then don't go eat at a restaurant that supports that system. It's not some luxury add-on for excellent service (though it can be). It is purely to make up for the extremely low wages. Does anyone remember the rest of the dialog in this scene?
So do you think there should be a minimum that should be tipped or are you okay leaving a measly amount if they don't pass your arbitrary standards?
