Forget that. I tip because it’s a high abuse, high stress industry and I know that life. What you’re calling average is probably skewed towards above average treatment from the customers.
If you’re sick of paying 20% tips then work to change the law. Don’t take it out on the poor saps just trying to make ends meet.
Or, do what I do and avoid tipping restaurants when possible.
Tipping is inherently a negative experience and you should treat it as such. So for example any service that operates on tips looses a full star on review sites from me.
