I do tip but it still doesn't make much sense to me. Shouldn't the employers cover the cost. I am already being taxed on the food, which most likely is low quality, and then I am essentially paying a second even higher tax. The whole system is stupid.

"Shouldn't the employers cover the cost"
The law allows the employers to pay food service workers less than the minimum wage, basing the lower amount per hour on an estimated tip credit. The system is designed that way.
The tax on the food is entirely different, sales tax is a way of funding state and local government. It has nothing to do with the person serving you. Tipping isn't a second tax. It's a customary thing, designed to reward good service. If the service was bad, don't tip. If it was good then a tip should be given. -

What the hell sense does that make lol? So if I go out for a meal with someone totalling $60, I should take $80 so that I can tip the waiter?
That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard, and I've heard it wayyyy too many times in this thread. -

We always tip in restaurants, even if the service is not the greatest. About a week ago, we went out and had some of the worst service I have ever had. I will not go into details, but it was the first time in years that we didn't leave a tip. It was that bad.

You're a idiot, you probably had mommy and daddy pay for everything you own your whole life. It's people like you who make this world suck. I don't know if you realize this or not,(which you most likely don't because you seem like a real pud thump.) but it's people who don't tip that are looked at as the scum and lowlife's. You're a fool. Go pound salt douche.

So according to your brilliant logic. I am "scum" and a "lowlife" because I don't tip? Wow, you have some serious issues hahahahaha.
How pathetic, let me guess. You work in hospitality and you cry yourself to sleep every time someone doesn't tip you? What a sook you are. I feel really bad for you hahahhahahahaha.
You're AN idiot

You, and everyone in this thread is obviously some butt-hurt waiter who thinks the world is too tough. While I'm working in a job which I get payed satisfactory for and don't mind all the work. Grow up babies

Apparently spelling and English aren't parts of your job or you'd know that it's paid and not payed.
There's a big difference between being too cheap to tip (you) and those who don't understand that in the U.S., tipping is such a strong custom that servers are paid less than minimum wage due to the expectation they'll receive tips, and that they are taxed on a certain amount of tips whether they get them or not. -

If a waiters tips and their salary don't equal out to the minimum wage, their employer is required by law to make up the difference.
