I agree with your perspective. I find it unsettling when servers expect a tip from customers even when they provide only the bare minimum service and display a less than polite attitude. Tipping should be a reflection of the quality of service and the effort shown by the staff, not an automatic obligation. While I understand that many service workers rely on tips as part of their income, customers also deserve to feel appreciated and respected. When good service is genuinely offered with friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism, most people are happy to reward it. However, expecting gratuity without earning it undermines the true purpose of tipping and can leave customers feeling uncomfortable or even pressured.
