Not doing the math is enough reason tbh. But also I’m not going to tip %20 for someone serving a beer compared to someone preparing a cocktail, it becomes unnecessarily complicated and as many other comments have pointed out, only the restaurant owner gets any real benefit.
Oh yes you would “tip” 20% if they just raised the price of the beer 20% and gave that to your server, it’s functionally the same but instead of being up to you it is forced, and it’s not called a tip anymore, but it’s still there.
And in the current system the server definitely benefits more from being tipped than being stiffed and working your table for free, the benefit is called “being able to afford rent this month,” either tip or boycott the whole restaurant, the owner doesn’t give a shit if you tip. If you manage to change the entire system then great but as it stands the only one you’re hurting by supporting the business and not tipping is the server.
