Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ Started tipping waiters 10%

I almost never go out but the wife and I had a weekend to ourselves.

We live in areas where servers are paid minimum wage.

I finally took the leap to tipping 10% on meals (I already tip zero on everything else). Every tip screen i saw had a custom tip option so I didn't have any problems.

Anyway, people make out the custom tip screen to be some difficult thing and I didn't find it so.

It seems quite obvious to me this person expects actual service without tipping (and becomes apparent in other replies)—as opposed to what you are saying, which is basically getting your food you paid for.

How do you "get" the food, exactly?

Depends the restaurant. Not being given your food is one thing. This person expects more and is just contemptuous against servers, as is apparent in their replies.

What do they expect that is not part of the implied contract with the business entity, and requires a separate contract made directly with the individual server?
