Honestly I'm ok with tipping at sit down restaurants. I don't want to tip at 5 guys.

I'd prefer if restaurants just charged me what it costs to pay their staff a decent wage so I could skip the song and dance.

Nah I've come to appreciate tipping after spending time in the UK where they don't tip. Service is absolutely dismal here.

If it takes the threat of starving-to-death to get good service out of some one then something is fundamentally wrong.

A lot of servers prefer tipping culture. I have friends who can make $100-200 an hour on good nights at fancy restaurants and bars.
