You're basically just arguing against tips existing at this point, which is like near universal in this thread. Nothing about that justifies being a non-tipping asshole. So, while I abhor the whole "they'll spit in your food" nonsense some people spout, I hope you get horrible service befitting your refusal, if you practice what you preach.

"Nothing about that justifies being a non-tipping asshole".

That's the issue.

First of all, it's not even about "non-tipping = asshole", it's already about "15$ tip = asshole".

Last weekend I went out and paid a 9% tip. For some magical reason, this didn't made me an asshole at all.

I don't have to fear the waiters to spit into my food the next time I visit them, and I don't have to expect them talking shit about me on instagramm or somewhere else either.

And even if would tip less, there would be no "how am I supposed to pay my tuition?".

Why? Simply because my tip is their bonus, not their freaking financial lifeline they have to depend upon.

And for some reason, even with wages allowing them to make it without 20% tips, we still have restaurants doing well, we still can effort eating out regulary, and we have no such pressure on the customer to tip 20%.
