If you are gleefully unaware of how the restaurant industry works than you just are ignorant and should educate yourself.
If you speings1 someone over a lack of ranch dressing and they have to pay to serve you you are stealing from them.

I have to say, I'm not nearly as familiar with the tip-out as I thought I was and I worked in restaurants for a while. My how things have changed.
You paid your tipout out of what you were tipped, not the bill, so if you didnt get tipped anything nobody gets tipped anything.
I'm struggling with this right now because I've typically been a (admittedly naively) generous tipper.
But at my usual haunts prices are going up, I know wages are going up and to be my usual tipper is getting more and more expensive and I've been having to cut back a fair bit.
Because as the price is going up that 15%-20% tip is getting pretty big.
I dont want to become a cheap tipper but its beginning to look unavoidable.
