My points about not using the deals and them being great offers was from the point of view of a customer.
"I don't think people should tip at all. Tipping is just a sneaky way of having the customers pay the labor costs directly. It's ridiculous to say a steak costs $7 when I'm paying the the server as well."
Not wanting to tip and actually not tipping are two different things.
I agree with you that the whole tipping concept can get ridiculous but like it or not, that's the system we have.
To not tip in all cases, in a system that has tipping as a critical part of the labor costs, is flat out wrong. You know the system is based on tipping and you're punishing the wrong person for your distaste for it.
If you don't want to tip, don't participate in the entire system. Don't go to any restaurants or other place of business that advocates tipping and makes it a critical part of the staffs salary.
Again, it's absolutely wrong to not participate in only one aspect of the system you dislike when the people who get hurt are the ones with little power to change things.
