If you choose not to do this, I respect that, however I do hope that you also then do not waste their time in serving you. As they are thus doing it 'for free.' As if you were to calculate the amount of time a waiter spends on set up and taking down of service he/she might rack up minimum wage with using all of the hours of a lower wage that are the basis of his/her shift.

Actually, I will use any service that is available to me. If you don't like the wage you are paid, get another job. Nothing is guaranteed, not even tips. There are good nights, there are bad nights. I'm that bad night, I'm just fulfilling my duty in keeping things in balance or else those in the service industry who rely on tips will earn more than they ought to. LOL.
Frankly, I tip, but in rare circumstances and because the person went out of their way when they didn't have to. Besides, I consider tip reverse bribery. In other countries, you give someone in the service industry some little money then they do things for you right, in US, after they do it, we give em. I rather bribe em upfront and know that I will get a great service.
