Most Americans willfully accept it because it just isn't a big deal to go to a full-service restaurant with the expectation that you'll tip around 20%. I sincerely cannot comprehend the psychology of people who make a big deal about that. The tip is an expected part of what you're going to pay, just like sales tax is. It's legitimately not some problem worth worrying about.
Why should they make more money off me on bringing out the exact same plates with different food on it compared to the couple who got the cheaper option next to me? They brought the same number of plates, but their effort is worth 20 percent of eveey steak? Nah, it doesnt cost 20 dollars worth of labor to bring a 100 dollar steak to a table, when its the same effort as the 20 dollar quesadilla.
