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.

Pretty much irrelevant. Just because people work harder elsewhere doesn't mean waiters and waitress's don't deserve tips for their hard work. Taking away tipping certainly doesn't change anything.
This tipping thread is turning into a driving thread. A pissing contest.
