Pretty much this. Peoples anger towards tips are pretty misplaced, and I find it funny. Don't blame the people working for these tips, it's not like they suddenly came out and said they need these tips. It's been this way for a long time.
"Restaurants should pay them a better wage then" is my favourite. If you knew the profit margins restaurants work on you'd know this isn't really an option, they'd have to raise prices. Any restaurant that raises prices is going to lose business.
