He did tip. 18% was automatically included in the total. He was just pissed off about having to automatically leave a tip. And it wasn't a waitress, it was a male server.

When I first started my business back in 1990, I use to go to Ryan's to eat the soup and salad bar for $2.99 I had the same waitress every time, this went on for a couple of years. One day I said to her, you are good at what you do why don't aspire for more. She said I consistently make $60,000 a year. $60,000 was a lot of money in 1990. I was impressed.

Notice he crossed out the auto tip and in the total wrote the pre-autotip amount.

And $34 for one persons dinner, mofo is making it rain on gods dime.

As someone who worked a number of years for tips, I can honestly say making 60K a year serving 3 dollar lunches is not possible.
As the OP says, if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.

most people are not up on the history behind leaving a tip for a waiter or waitress. seems a certain group of restaurant owners that was known to be C-H-E-A-P figured out early on that they could pay the waiters and waitresses two bux an hour while coercing the diners into paying "tips". That way, they got out C-H-E-A-P for food delivery service and the sap sucker diners were duped into paying extra for "service". It is still that way to this day, most waiters and waitresses receive SLAVE wages whilst the diners pay the tab in the form of "tips".

Pretty good deal for the restaurant owner, huh?

Just one MORE reason to despise organized religion.

So, should I take this to mean that you believe that everyone having to do with organized religion is a butthole like this guy?

I NEVER SAID THAT!!!

However, many adherents are well meaning folks but lets not forget that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
