I like tipping (in the US). I feel like servers would be a lot less friendly if they weren't so directly incentivized to be nice. Plus I've been treated somewhat gruffly by servers in countries that do not have tips. Maybe that is just dislike of U.S. citizens.
Ah yes, the culture of punishing people pre-emptively with the threat of not being able to afford to live, in order to force them to be nice to your smug ass
So you say you have to pay people to be nice? Thats fucked upโฆ

Quit possibly. I live in a country without a strong tipping culture and people are (generally) nice.
