I used to think that the whole tipping thing was crazy but it works well for both parties.
For the server they can earn more if they work harder, and for a server working harder means giving the patron a better dining experience. Plus their extra hard work pay is essentially untaxed.
For the patron it means better service. Travel in Europe, the worst chain pub here has better service than all but fine dining there. Yes there five star places treat you like a king but the run of the mill restaurants have horrible service.
