The only reason it carries on is because that's the way it's always been. If everyone in the US stopped tipping tomorrow yes there'd be a lot of poor waiters and most would probably quit. But then the restaurants, if they wanted to keep their staff (and therefore remain in business) would pay their staff more. Those that didn't would close down.

Yeah dude, I think everyone gets your principle but it isn't going to happen so if you were to come to the US and eat at a full service restaurant and based on your current principles you would be considered a cheapskate and would receive very poor service if you were to return. I don't understand why it is so hard for you to swallow that fact that not everything works the same around the world. It is a extremely basic concept and you aren't changing the world, let alone anything, preaching your beliefs. [rofl]
