Same here. For me it was the realization that what I thought was appropriate tipping -- 15% -- was actually an insult to servers. Thanks to the internet, I saw how servers retaliate against what they think is a bad tipper. I realized that proper tipping is subjective, and there was no way to be sure I wouldn't be punished for something I did wrong unknowingly. So rather than risk it, I just decided to learn how to live without eating out.

Yeah, 15% was considered good in the '90s, but it's been upped to 20% for a couple decades now.

The alternative is 0%, because i just won't eat out anymore
