Restaurants in America are set up for tipping. They are paid far below minimum wage because of the fact that they make money from tips. If tipping didn't exist, stuff on the menu would cost approximately 15% more to make up for it. What would you do then, not go out to eat?

You are freeloading on the system.

This what I've never understood about the tipping system. a tip is supposed to be optional and used for good service. If the tip is required or expected why the [censored] dont you just add it in the cost of the meal? Why does it matter if the food is 15% more expensive or if I'm expected to "tip" 15%? By calling a tip and leaving it optional all you do is let people get around it. seems retarded to me.
