1) In this thread we're talking about Disney restaurants, which frequently turn away walk ups since they're too full. If they didn't have you they'd have someone else -- someone who would likely tip.
2) The server has taxes witheld on the tip the IRS assumes you left -- whether or not you actually left it. Even if she gets that money back when she files at the end of the year, she (or he) is still has less money in her pocket NOW, and the government is the one getting any interest that money earns.
So no, I don't think the waitress should be "glad to have you" if you don't tip.
The waitress does not get charged by the IRS per person, they get charged for an average that you probably made, now I'm not from Florida but going by my experience waitpeople make far more in tips than what they pay taxes on. And if we are going to talk just Disney, all Disney waitstaff make the same in wages before taxes as most of the other Disney employees, why do you think that they should make more?
