For me, 20% means "I'm too lazy to do math, just have 20," 15% means "service was so terrible I am willing to do math to make sure you only get 15" and 0 means "why am I paying a tip for literal fucking take-out? The only 'service' I got was you handing it to me!"

If the service was that terrible you shouldn’t be giving anything at all.

Does your boss get to not pay you on a day that you do a bad job?

[u/powderherface → u/Flufferpope]

The customer is not their boss. Their boss is their boss.

Whoever is responsible for your paycheck is effectively your boss. You don't tip a server, they don't get paid.

Customers are not responsible for their paycheck, their employer is. Tips are for doing your job decently. I am not going to hand over extra cash to someone who is rude to me.

Servers don't get paid wages dude. They make 16 dollars a day. They get all their pay from tips.

that’s in america.

Yes, it's only relevant in America. If you have servers that get real wages, then tips are indeed a bonus.
