    You think the tax coming off their tips is enough to make servers indifferent to them?

    If they are guaranteed minimum wage then at least I can feel like they aren’t going to starve if I don’t tip the ever increasing suggested tip %.

      A server can easily work 4-5 tables an hour. Assuming average bill of $50 per table, and average of 10% tips, that’s $20-25 per hour. That average is most likely higher because of people like you who feel guilty and use the suggested tips lol.
