Except tips do not equate to bonuses.
At most serving jobs I've worked tips equate to about half your income. What % of your income is your bonus?
If somebody doesn't tip you, you still have to tip out the bartender, hostess and kitchen/house so you actually lose money on that table. If somebody tips 5% I basically make zero money on the table as I have to tip out 5% to others.
Tips are part of a servers income. I can understand that people don't like the system. But most people wouldn't work minimum wage to serve without the tips so the restaurant would have to increase prices on food/drinks if the tipping system wasn't in place.
So yeah.
