Fact
Being a server for any length of time will push you toward racism.
Fact
If you dont tip 15% (assuming at least acceptable service) you are stealing from the server because that is what the government taxes them on and everyone knows it. The 15 percent should be included in the budget for the meal. I do not however tip 25-40 percent just because i worked in the industry unless the service was outstanding in every way and I feel the server went above and beyond.

The tax code written by legislators and the contractual agreement that the servers have made with their bosses is not my fault, nor is it my business.

There is no indentured servitude - if you are unhappy with your pay structure, then find a job with steady pay instead of one that relies on the whims of the purchaser. But blaming the purchaser for the system which he did not create is utterly stupid.

I'd call it seeing reality for what it is, but that's another thread.
I don't know why everyone doesn't tip cash though. They have to claim everything that goes on the cards. If you really want them to keep more of their money, tip cash.
