I love that scene, you have a table of vicious killers and sociopaths, and even they're disgusted at the idea of someone not tipping.

tipping should be illegal because it leads to underpaid workers. but until tipping becomes illegal, you are a fucking asshole if you don’t tip. you’re not sticking it to the man, you’re just shitting on a minimum wage worker because m-muh principles. grow up or move to a country where they don’t tip

I only tip when I think they deserve a tip. I tipped the last meal I ate out. Nice person who checked every few minutes if we needed anything else. They kept our drinks from getting empty. The service was worth the tip so they got it. That is what the tip is for. Good service, not any service.

Doesn't get paid properly to deliver a service you're relying on.

Tipping culture is stupid, but that doesn't mean you get to fuck over workers by refusing the tips they rely on. If you want to fight that fight, take it up with the business or your legislator, ya cheap asshole.

Ya'll are all wrong. Tipping is to compensate the 2 dollars they make an hour. It's a shitty system, but that's the deal. If you don't want to tip then don't go eat at a restaurant that supports that system. It's not some luxury add-on for excellent service (though it can be). It is purely to make up for the extremely low wages. Does anyone remember the rest of the dialog in this scene?
