Lots of resteraunts work tips into what you get paid
So if you dont tip they hardly get anything. But hey i dont think it should be mandatory to tip, but if you can afford it give the poor fucker in the demeaning job a little extra.

Yeah, as I said
I think it's very cuntish for restaurant owners to exploit that fact to effectively pay under minimum wage.

But hey, I don't know if this is the case in any given restaurant. You can always work somewhere else! Or if you need tips to top your pay up to something decent, then do your job how it should be done and I will tip you. When I am pleased I tip generously, however service in approximately 80% of restaurants I've ever eaten in has been appalling. And no, I don't just eat in kebab shops and McDonalds!

employer cuntishness is accross the board
and as we discussed yesterday in the water charges debate, the govt. are in on it too - take pensions for example: they are mandatorily provided by employers who benefit from tax breaks as a result but you cant touch them til you turn 65 by which time they are worthless as the banks have lost them.
