As a non-American this is how I feel about tipping in general.
It's so much easier to just pay people a decent wage, include it in the cost of things and then not have the pressure of tipping.
That, and tipping is akin to having paid servants. i.e. "if you do a good job, and if I feel like it, I might give you some of my wad of cash. Or not, sucker.".
(Of course, I do tip because the servers rely on it, I just don't like it)
