It seems as if you equate tipping with charity ... and while I agree that people in the service sector deserve a decent wage, tipping is not a "donation," nor charity, it is a gratuity. If one follows and allows your argument, it seems as if one must punish the underpaid worker by not tipping in order to sent a "message" to the employer! Don't throw a crust to the starving man; let his starvation act as a beacon to the crusaders of social justice. Point is, and this is only opinion, one can tip and work to improve the system at the same time.
