Are you saying that being a server is as hard as being a roadworker standing in the sun on the asphalt for eight hours a day when the air temperature is in the mid nineties? I don't think they fucking compare one bit, but we don't feel compelled to tip a road worker just because his job sucks and he isn't getting paid enough relative to the crappiness of his job.
Everyone jump on the bandwagon: " but servers are the blah blah blah boo fucking hoo." I am tired of hearing about the plight of servers. If you don't like your pay, get a new fucking job. Not qualified to do anything else? Not my fucking problem the only skill you ever learned was to write shit down and carry it from point A to point B. No amount of pissing and moaning is going to make me feel that you are doing the world a huge fucking service bringing me a beer. If I had my preference, I would walk into a bar, grab a glass off the shelf, pour my own drink, and pay the cashier at the door before I left. Instead these establishment have two people between me and something I could and would do myself - a bartender and a server and both expect me to tip them 20% on top of the 300 - 600% markup on the glass of beer they are bringing me, slowly.
As I have said before, I generally tip well, but if you don't think you are making enough money then take a number and get in line.
