As has been stated in this thread already - some people have class, some don't, period. Are you 'correct' that tipping isn't 'mandatory' - YES - but who fucking cares, that only makes you a dick who is 'right'. I would rather be on the 'wrong' side of the equation and be a decent human being.. I can't imagine how much saliva you've eaten in your life from all the food that has been spit on.

a good portion of the world tried to do things your way once. it was called the soviet union. it didn't work. the idea was to just be "fair" which meant even fuckups could recieve decent compensation for fucking up and compensation on par with those who did a phenominal job. it failed miserably.
look dude... i am just a guy who goes in to sit down and eat.
i expect a certain level as service as being part of the deal (appropriate to the type of restuarant).
shitty service is NOT my problem.
what type of asshole the waitress had to wait on before my is no more my problem that what type of prick customer support had to deal with before i called hoping to solve my problem.
the understanding is NEVER that the wait staff is going to provide shitty service as part of the deal.
my contract with the restaurant is that i agree to go there, sit down, order from the menu, eat and pay and they agree to tend to my needs, take my order and bring my food as i ordered it... i then pay XX.XX - having some cunt waitress who is having a shitty day ruin that experience for me is not part of the deal. of course i tip, but i don't reward bad behavior as many of the morons here seem to do because they are just weak pussies, or are minimum wage workers at heart.
and furthermore... lets talk some reality here. lets talk about how nice restaurants and wait staff treat customers differently... lets talk about how i can go into a 5 star restaurant, sit down and drop 100.00 on lunch and be totally fucking ignored the entire time because the same waiter/waitress has 3 other tables with 5-10 people ea and knows thats where the big tip will be. that happened to me the other day with my wife and fucking pissed me off. the cunt wouldn't even make eye contact with us because she had a couple tables of microsoft execs spending a lot of money... so whether or not i needed anything, wanted to order anything, needed water or another drink or whatever was a non-issue because i wasn't going to be the one leaving a 300.00 tip. and according to you, i am OBLIGATED TO TIP HER. huh? for what? for fucking up my evening and totally ruining the experience for us? fuck you. fuck her.
