I would consider it is a blackmail!!! What if many people can't afford the tip, will their resturant close down because they refused to serve to people like us?
It is not up to the customers to support the Waitress's wages, it is the Resturant Manager's responsible to take care of their staff's wages.

If I can't afford to eat at a restaurant, then I don't go to the restaurant. Eating at a restaurant isn't a life necessity. Paying the tip is part of the restaurant experience.
If you don't like paying tips you can eat at fast food restaurants or get take out food. No one is forced to go to a nice restaurant.
Suppose tomorrow all restuarant owners decided to stop the tip system and increase the pay of the servers. Fine. They will also increase the prices of all their meals. So, you, the diner, end up paying much more for your meal, even without a tip. Some people will still not be able to afford going to the restaurant.
