The first day, the customer gives the waiter $18 and the homeless man $2. The waiter is impressed and gives the homeless man $2 more. Other customers follow suit and everyone starts giving the homeless man $2 of the tip. The homeless man soon has enough to rent an apt. The restaurant's image improves from the publicity and lack of homeless outside. The next year, the waiter has double the customers and tips. Waiter uses the increased income to go to college. Etc.

Even though on principle, I'm opposed to tipping, I still tip for good service.

What's wrong with being satisfied with his salary and working hard for that?

They're paid less than minimum wage because they're *supposed* to make tips. If they don't get tips, they don't make much.
