I'm in the US where 15-20% is customary, so 18% at the top end is pretty low. The system is shit, but I'm not going to impact anyone's livelihood because I disagree with it.
The employer that is paying the shitty wage wants you to feel this way.
Yeah but stiffing a waiter isn't going to magically make the employer pay a fair wage.
But that's on the employer, right? Shitty employers want you think it's your responsibility as a customer to ensure a fair wage.
