EDIT: It isn't being "gleefully unaware" of how the system works. It's a broken system. There's one price on the bill you are obligated to pay, everything else is added on at my discretion. If that isn't enough to pay the staff, that isn't my problem. I could put $0 and if that results in a person not getting paid enough, that is their employers fault and should be their problem, not mine.

I disagree. You might not be gleefully unaware of our system, but you're definitely ignoring it. If tipping wasn't normal staff would be paid more and prices on the menu would be higher. So you'd be paying more one way or another. Sliding by with your attitude gives you a deal no one else gets. It's not really fair. If you have a problem with the service or product that's one thing. But to just wander into a restaurant and not tip as a rule is totally cheap and not fair to anyone.
