I'm not patting myself on the back... I'm saying that I don't want to participate in the tipping system, but we know that waiters are not paid fairly. I see the 15% as the salary that is not, but should be, included in the menu.
The fact that you thought I was getting an ego boost from tipping is the reason tipping exist, giving people an illusion of power/status.
