Not everywhere follows that standard. Many places get tips individually.

You food didn't taste right? Not a service issue. Your beer flat? Not a service issue. They didn't have Patron Silver when you wanted to look like a baller and impress the ugly girl you're dating? Not a service issue!

All of those
are service problems. Not necessarily the waitress' service problem, but the establishments problem. If the restaurant is dividing tips, why should I pay 15% to everyone if the kitchen was terrible? Not only that, but service goes beyond how fresh my beer is and fast my food was cooked. If the waiter/waitress is snobby, doesn't interact in a positive manner or doesn't show any aptitude/caring of their job then I'm not going to tip them appropriately. That's not me being a cheapskate, that's me being realistic. If you're bad at your job, you don't get rewarded.
Not to mention, the waitress is a representative of the rest of the staff. If she performs well, everyone benefits and if not, then sorry but you're not getting my full tip (heh.)
If everyone should be tipped equally regardless of service, then add a 15% gratuity to the bill, but don't get mad at me if a bad employee ruins your tip.
