Waiters have literally chased people out to the parking lot. I'm not saying it's right, but yes. They even have to pay 10% of their sales as tips to the IRS whether theyade that in tips or not.
I said expected, not required. If someone is rude or inattentive, I won't tip.
If they try (especially new and overwhelmed servers even though the service sucks they really busted ass and worried about me), I tip.
They make 2.13 an hour here or something like $20 from house money. Some places don't even pay any house and servers only earn pay on tips.
So yes the expectation is that patrons who eat out will tip. If you go out and dont put in for tip, you will get shamed by any social circle you're in as far as I know.
I was a server and bartender for a while and I was always attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. I always treated a tip as a tip, but when you eat out watch how pressured people are to tip.
I always did well, it wasnt unheard of in a small mom and pop I wormed at to clear $350 on a Friday in tips. Idk why you assume I was a terrible server or never worked.
At least in my region of the US it is and I'm certain it's more than just my region, the social expectation is to tip. When I was a server we had to pay 10% of our sales as tax to account for tips (big chain, not a mom and pop). Even if it was a day where tips weren't coming in and ypu happened to make under 10%. Particularly lunch hour where people with fixed income who are tight on funds come in.
Of course there were many times where you'd make 20+% and you'd still claim 10%.
I still treated those guests as I would any other customer. But tips are expected for sure in my region and people will often say "if you can't afford to tip you can't afford to eat out."
Idk I'm in a blue state where servers make 2.13 an hour from their employer.
I always tip well because I know they get paid shit and I was in their shoes. Id they're particularly rude or dismissive, I won't, to send a message.
But tipping isn't just for excellent service here, it's for adequate service.
Tipping is expected and wages should not depend on it.
^ Found the server ^ who thinks he can sleepwalk through his job and still get 20%

Social shaming, lol

Tipping is NOT expected- let me guess, you either never worked in restaurants or you are oblivious to the fact that you were a terrible server...
Fyi--bartender for 10yrs, paid for my undergrad degree no loans, all tips.
