You're over thinking it - the reality here is you are trying to justify being a shitty tipper. I don't really care what you do, it just makes you an ass and you're probably fine with that. So this debate is over.. Im not interested in your rambling rationalizations.

justify being a shitty tipper? huh?
dude.. seriously. i tip.
my problem is when everyone starts arguing that its an entitlement REGARDLESS of the quality of service.
i'm an ass and it seems that 1/2 of gfy is apparently working at Dennys at night. ... i guess under the circumstances, i'm fine being an ass.
let me give you some life advice that will help you tremendously.
1) restuarant jobs for the most part are a dime a dozen. i'm not talking about 5 star restuarants... but there are plenty of great jobs where servers are bringing home a few hundred a night.
don't give up hope. they have high turnovers because its shitty work for people with no skills in anything. thats good for you because it means you can always find a better job waiting tables
2) just try my way once. how about this... lie to yourself ... just as an experiment and tell yourself that the reason you are there as a waiter is not just because you have to talent or skills, but it is to make sure I am having a decent experience - one which i am paying for.
smile.
attend to my needs.
keep my drink full.
take a second when you pass by to ask if i need anything.
thats all.
thats it.
do that and your tips should go up tremendously and you might realize that no one sits down to lunch thinking "hmm... this person is a complete shithead and i should pay him a little extra for being a complete shithead"
you'll find people are more than happy to reward you for the effort.
your tips will start climbing up immediately.
i promise.
