I'm sorry I guess maybe I still don't understand where you're coming from? Of course there would be false positives -- are you perhaps informing me of some possibilities with which I could rationalize why I was the recipient of poor service?
Of course that's a possibility -- servers have bad days, sure, but these isolated incidents don't negate the need to solve the bigger problems of wage disparity in restaurants (cooks being paid half what servers earn -- close to minimum wage in some instances, no matter that they went through culinary school and incurred huge debt), the problems of racism and sexism, etc. I feel non-tipping is the easy and obvious solution here.
