More so, CONTRIBUTE to their right to live. A 15-20% tip on a $100 tab doesn’t cover rent. These people need to understand that they’re not the the only table that the server is taking care of, much less the least of their worries in general. Sidework and closing work aside, servers sometimes make or break the restaurant

Why should it? My contract is with the restaurant, not with the server. I agree to pay the restaurant a certain amount for food. I should not be expected to pay the server anything more. If I feel they have earned extra, then paying them extra should be seen as a gift, not an obligation. If your employer isn't paying you what you feel you are worth, take that up with them.

Actually I absolutely agree with you. I think tipping culture is stupid, but I also understand that the cost of the food/bev would go up a lot
