yes, i agree, it's a job they're doing, BUT, they are also only getting paid hourly by the establishment based on the fact that they will receive tips. most servers actually only make minimum wage, or very close to. so when you don't tip them, they actually lose money for providing you with meal service, because they normally pay out to the house a certain percentage of their total sales. so if a 2 top orders $100 worth of food and beverage and no tip is given, the servers have to dig into their own pocket to pay out their fair share of sales, to tip the bartender, hostess, food runners etc...
not tipping because 'society says i have to' is incredibly selfish. how would you like it if you as a server had to pay $10 out of your pocket so 2 people could be served by you and enjoy their lunch/dinner because they didn't want to tip you?
