Give me a good reason to tip waiters like mad so they can go home with triple the amount of what anybody else would make.
Are they forced to do this job? Is it hell on earth? Is it slavery?
No, its a job like any other job.

Because they take the job in the first place based on the knowledge that they WILL receive tips. They don't take the job expecting minimum wage, then on the first day realize that they get a bonus.
In Montreal, tipping is pretty much mandatory, and I bartended full time for 18 months full time and now do it once or twice a month at clubs for fun. I wouldn't do it if I didn't get tipped, but by the same token, if I give bad service, I literally push the tip back to the customer. I know when my service isn't up to par, and I don't expect thanks for something I never gave.
Ah...Friday afternoon...when you budget for your partying, do you include tip? That is the key...you have to include it in your budget so when you are signing your tab, you already know that 50 bucks has to be tagged on to the 200 dollar tab.
