However, when I hear people talk of the obligation to tip it seriously wants me to not tip at all. If more people didnt tip, then maybe they would stop "expecting" it and work a little harder.

...good thing they would still be there to wait on you if you didn't tip, since they come to work for fun and all.

-oh wait, I forgot about their wage (which is $2.13 an hour in Texas.)

Are there any other industries you feel us consumers need to subsidize due to their poor business models?

Poor by whose standards? It works perfectly fine. The only people who think it's a poor business model are the "I don't believe in tipping" followers who don't understand that part of the business model involves their tips. It's just a silly argument to say "okay, let's keep everything the same except I shouldn't have to tip the waiters."

It's amazing how these conversations always turn into the person who supports 'blind tipping' accusing the other of not wanting to tip at all.

This is about mandatory tipping, not tipping in general.
