If you live in a tipping culture and can't afford to tip, then you can't afford to eat somewhere with a waitress.
this is the reverse of "if you can't afford a job that pays you find another job". I'm all for tipping for service rendered and I'm the first to suggest tipping at tables, but some of the "recommended tip rates" requested at establishments are extortionary. I'm 100% ok with tipping 15-20%, even moreso/higher if it's a super small order or the waiter went above and beyond but, my 45 minute meal that you visited twice maybe 3 times tops for does not warrent a 25+% tip rate.

Not even close.
Don't you agree with them if your argument is basically that 15% is expected but 25% is extortionate?
