but someone please explain to me why restaurants can't pay their staff like everyone else and just charge me more on the bill


i think this is a reasonable point.

i'm guessing that if--because of the poor economy--the choice is between people tipping less OR not eating out at all, then the restaurant owners and waitstaff would probably prefer you tip a little less. just a guess, though.

yeah, they would rather still get business and if the servers suffer, so be it. It also keeps takeout as an affordable option.
