CMV: Tipping should be optional only when the server was nice and did their job well

There is a trend of servers complaining about receiving tips of 15% or less.<br><br>IMO it’s ridiculous that the server is complaining about receiving tips when they literally have a job to perform.<br><br>My parents tipped anywhere from 10-20% when i was younger but they never expected service, it was because they were thankful for the service.<br><br>When my server is nice and did a great job, i genuinely want to give them a nice tip.<br><br>But servers in general expect a tip no matter what, they don’t even care if the service was good or not. <br><br>My CMV is that tipping should be based on the quality of service, not because they have a job.<br><br>Edit: obviously there are some bad tippers, and i would never tip 2-5% unless the service sucked.
