It serves as an incentive to work hard and do a good job paying attention to the customer.
People who don't leave tips are jerks and deserve crappy service wherever they go for the rest of their lives

Agreed!
I don't understand the purpose of this thread. If you'd stuck serving table just to pay for your rent or support your child then you'd probably wouldn't start this discussion. Many things in life exist for a reason. I always tip them well regardless of their service unless the waiter/waitress was extremely crappy then I do a lower than 15-18%.
Also to note, the OP say he/she paying for the waiters to do their job. Their wage was compromised low because of the tips incentive.
I don't think every country tips anyway because I've gone to Asia and many people there didn't require tipping.
