Yes, but in many places you are expected to not complain, and if you do say - I didn't make enough in tips, they can say, well then you're clearly not good enough at this, so you're fired. So, basically, they're screwed.
I hate the tipping system, and I really wish that the price were built into the meal. I hate having to interact with strangers for extended periods of time and I hate jobs that expect tips. This is why I didn't get my hair cut at all for five years straight, because the ordeal of needing to go to a place and have it cut and interact with the person and chat and tip was just too unappealing.
I would use several services more if tipping were less of an issue. I like tipping for good service. And I have no objections to the cost. I just want the primary salary to be paid by the place and the tip to indeed be a small bonus.
But I hate people and I'm blind and probably have an auditory processing disorder, so interacting with strangers is just a far more hellish ordeal for me than for most. At this point, even when it goes perfectly well, I'm highly stressed from all the possible issues that can come up.
