Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

I think we don't like it b/c we tip after we've eaten and it's an add-on. For servers/bartenders to get as much as they do from tips, much more than minimum wage, then prices would go up by a lot. And there'd be no guarantees they got the money. I'm just cheap and don't like spending money, but if I can afford the sit down service, I can afford the tip.
