    Nope, if the patron has chosen to do business in a stupid shitty country like mine they should pay a reasonable tip or they’re an asshole. I agree that it’s a completely stupid system that needs change, but screwing the server for a stupid culture they have no control over is not cool.

      Just because they should, doesn’t mean they must. There is a legal obligation to pay the bill, but there is no legal obligation to tip the server.

      I’d argue that in NA, the tip is expected and basically the default, and you have to do something wrong to lose that tip. Racism and/or legal status of the server is not a valid reason, though.
