    Are you calling non tippers the assholes, and not the business owners or practice of tipping in general? Tipping is out of control and a stupid obligation as it is currently being used.

      Little bit of each. It’s a bit of a catch 22 situation. The tipping system enables low wages. The traditional response to a bad system is to try to not participate. But then the underpaid waitstaff are paid worse until the system is changed, and unless a critical mass is reached, no change will happen anyway, so refusing to pay a tip in order to help the staff long-term hurts the staff short-term, and can only be said to be enough to make a change if it’s really hurting them. It sucks as a whole situation.
