tipping exists to subsidize the wages of the food workers in the US, most servers are paid 2 dollars an hour
basically the position requires you to be tipped in order to make at least minimum wage, and the grift of it all is that you have higher earning potential
the implication, again, being the ability to earn even more than minimum wage based on merit
THOUGH to be fair i have known many female servers at higher end restaurants or bars who made quite a nice living on tips
so it's sort of this fucked situation where the implication is you tip because they're good servers which triggers the autismos when they should just say tipping is how we subsidize our waiters and keep employee overhead low
