You don't have to if you don't want to. Certainly, the owner of the establishment could be paying their employee more out of the $25 steak you ordered and $7 drink, however they don't. You should just know that when you pay that $25 for your steak, you're actually paying for the atmosphere and the chef's time. If you'd take into consideration that the waitstaff is making minimum wage when you go out, you probably wouldn't feel so disgusted at paying extra in order to make sure you get a slice of lime in your water instead of lemon. Then it won't seem like an added cost. Of course, you could always just not tip, and then remember that when you go into your favorite establishment next time and get a beer that's half head and a fricken lemon in your water instead of a lime.
