This is exactly why I hate the concept of tipping.
People are obligated to do it to ensure top service. Top Service is not obligated to ensure a tip.
The whole sequence is backwards, and people tip because they fear getting blacklisted, not because they're actually really happy with great service.

I rarely even get good service now (especially at restaurants), because all of the staff think they're entitled to good tips and have no obligation for good service.
