What you have said does not make sense, if they get paid you dont need to tip?
Then whats the point of having "tip" in the first place?

Tipping is a custom evolved from paying extra to ensure preferential service, better quality service, or a gratuity for good service.
Now it seems it has just become an expected practice by most people employed in the restaurant/service industry. It pisses me off that those employees feel they are automatically "entitled" to a tip, regardless if they provided exceptional service or not.
I'm unsure how much kitchen staff contribute to the service experience. I usually tip based on how the server serves me, if she made sure my beer wasn't empty, if she got to me before other customers etc...
There are a lot of countries where tipping is not practiced.
