so they can earn a living. There are no set standards that all consumers have come to an exact consensus on what is considered good service. It is a very arbitrary system. As a waitress I could bust my hump and still get stiffed. I know, because it has happened to friends of mine who wait many times. If wait staff were paid a livable wage to begin with for showing up and working, then I'd agree with you. A lousy waiter/waitress is probably not going to be in the industry long, whether you tip them or not.
