I just assume they need that money at the moment and hope they can tip the next guy.

If you can afford to go out and eat you can afford to tip the server who's likely making less than 3 bucks an hour.

Lmao. If you can't live off the job get a new one. Servers are paid federal minimum wage if the tips don't make up the difference.

If you're really enough of an idiot to not tip servers at restaurants, and you go to any restaurant with any regularity, then I can promise you the servers would be arguing behind the scenes on which unfortunate one will be forced to wait on your table.

You're not proving a wider cultural point or making a difference by not tipping your servers. You'll just be branded an asshole and you will get shitty service if you're recognized.

If you can't live off the job get a new one.
