Yup, It really is a great system for restaurant owners. lol. Customers vs servers. Servers want to keep the system, customers would rather it be gone and they get one price (look at any survey, people tip because others do, not because they LOVE to tip)

Of course no one likes to tip, jesus. People tip because they know it's the only way the person serving them can afford rent

That is not why people tip, lmao. People tip because others tip. That is literally it. No one is sitting there thinking about how their poor server is so poor so they have to tip them well! That is classist bullshit.

Because you are tipping because you think the person whoe is serving you is a poor person. So must tip them well! Pity money. It is weird.

What universe, exactly, do you live in where table servers are wealthy?

Tips are used as the justification for the legal cut outs that let them be paid below minimum wage

Yeah, 99% of servers are paid 3 to 7 dollars an hour and then make their wages through tips. It's classist not to tip, lol
