There's no entitlement to eating out. It is a type of luxury and if you can't afford it, do without.
Restaurants pay employees low wages with the tips counting as part of what the employee is expected to earn. Bad service deserves a low tip. Otherwise, your tip isn't really discretionary.
I have a sympathy for anyone dealing with the public and I over-tip, sometimes leaving 25% of the bill. Since I don't have much money, I don't eat out often. And if things get worse, I'll eat out less.

I have to disagree with your statements. When I eat out I expect great service, which means good food and good table service. If you want a great tip for serving me you should act like you want a great tip. Don't expect your typical 15% with poor service. I think there is some entitlement mentality in the service industry. I know their wages are low but they chose the line of work.
Want a tip....earn it! and I'll gladly give it.
