Are you obliged to tip or can you refuse? (feddit.online)

I'm not into tipping when I've visited the US, since I come from a country where servers are paid the equivalent of Fr. 20-30 ($24-43) an hour so there isn't an obligation to tip them, but that's the opposite in the US. Am I allowed to hand them large cash tips such as Fr. 1000 ($1236) or 500€ ($583)? It gets weirder: as apparently fast food places demand a tip, like really? It's getting out of hand, what's the point then?

Not quite correct. We're guaranteed at least a minimum wage over the pay period but we also tip out our own support staff based on sales. So if you tip me less than (at my restaurant) 7.5% of the pretax subtotal, I paid money to wait on you. Few people are that charming.
