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.

I agree with this experience.

That seems to be the common argument, but why should I want to evaluate a servers performance and judge their deserved pay +/- the obligate 15% every time I go out to eat, get a haricut etc. I'd much rather just go out, eat etc., pay and leave all the while expecting good service and having management take care of it.
