They are very close to dancing around a pole in panties, screw them. I believe what Bushimi said in the beginning of Resovior Dogs.
You are living under a rock, my friend. Sometimes those $2-per-hour jobs are all some people can get, and they need those tips to survive.

As for me, I am currently PUTTING MYSELF THROUGH GRAD SCHOOL by waiting on tables in the affluent Farmington Valley area of CT. Granted, I get a (comparatively) cushy $5 per hour, but it's the tips I need to survive. I have to pay all my bills (insurance, utilities, tuition, two student loans... plus the extras like credit card and phone) from what I earn in tips AND go to school full-time. Bad week = all payments get sent out late.

Luckily, I manage to make pretty decent money out of this... but it can get scary if you have a rash of bad tippers in a row.

Oh, and by the way... if you really don't ever leave tips, I would recommend that you NEVER go back to that restaurant again. They DO remember the non-tippers, and they will get revenge.
