Uhh no you're not. Food is priced with the intention that you will tip the servers yourself. If the restaurant was going to pay the servers, prices would be 15% higher or whatever average the industry decided it was going to pay its servers. If this was the case, then you'd have to pay 15% more tax as well. One of the biggest reasons that YOU have to tip is so you pay less tax AND the server pays less income tax - win/win except when you get people who dont understand why this is the case.

Your signature is awfully ironic lol, perhaps you dont know as much as you think you do.
