What's up, V? Are you choked that your line of work or your uncle's line of work doesn't garner any tips? You can always switch industries. I hear they're hiring waiters en masse.
Sarcasm aside, I can't believe the pure disdain you have for people that get tips. If you don't want to tip, then don't. It's an optional thing. Sure, you're a cheap bugger for not tipping if the service is good, but still, it's your prerogative.

Reading issues, I suppose.
I tip. In fact, I believe that there's a very good reason to tip, namely that if I don't decide what the server is worth, the restaurant sure as hell won't. I've already said that in this thread.
My contention is with the insane idea that servers are worth their tips because the work is really really hard, or that the average person that works as a server is some shlub in need of a handout. Neither of those work, I'm sorry. There are harder jobs, and worse off people. And they don't get tipped.
I have worked in the service industry. And I have worked construction. And I have worked in an office. The office is by far the easiest, service second, and my carpet installation days were by far the worst. Sue me if this is so unreasonable.
