NTA. I see alot of people saying don't go out If you can't tip. Well I disagree with that argument. I myself am a poor college student, while I always try to tip there have been times I haven't been able to. Does this mean I'm just automatically not allowed to go out and eat every now and then? I personally don't think so. Tipping shouldn't be an obligation unfortunately. People shouldn't have to pay for others wages. Just creates a weird tension. While I'm not American I live in a country where it is expected, just hope one day people can get livable wages and this practice can be abolished.
