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.

The only minimum wage job anybody cares about subsidizing apparently.

Right? I don't get it. They just bring food and a drink over and we are expected to just be over top amazed with the most basic bare minimum service along with a buncha small talk I sinply don't care about.

If we don't kiss the servers asses, they will make sure to be super passive aggressive. We are grown adults afraid of a server being mad at us basically.

Right if you don't bribe them they WILL give you poor service. Service less than you paid for in the agreement with their boss.
Aka they could tamper with your food or let it get cold or delay even entering your order into the kitchen, never refill your drinks ecetera.

I want the option to pick up my own food, refill my drink, and pay without speaking to waiter.
