As more and more restaurants pool tips - that is they all get divided amongst the staff - it's harder to want to tip. You're subsidizing the entire place instead of helping out an individual that's earned it.
That's one reason why, when I like the server, I don't leave a tip on the bill itself. I tend to hand a cash tip directly to the server and pay the bill with a credit card. Maybe the cash ends up in a pool, maybe it stays in the person's pocket.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.
