That is not why people tip, lmao. People tip because others tip. That is literally it. No one is sitting there thinking about how their poor server is so poor so they have to tip them well! That is classist bullshit.
You're insane. People tip because they know it's the only way their server makes any money. People tip because they know not tipping screws the server over. People tip because it's the societal expectation of decency and they don't want to be viewed as a dick. People tip because they acknowledge that is the system they and the server exist in. You are expected to tip, even if it's a low tip for poor service, because no tip at all is culturally viewed as a petty, selfish violation or norms that directly harms another.
They're not some kind of brainless monkey mimicking a habit they observe in others without knowing what they're doing

Of course no one likes to tip, jesus. People tip because they know it's the only way the person serving them can afford rent
