You tip at the end, what you give them at the end of the meal had no reflection of the service you received and it will have no bearing with you on the future. Sure, your tip probably ensures that the waiter won't be a complete asshat to the next table but how does that help you?

It only helps in that it reinforces the idea that a good job will be rewarded better, and hopefully that idea is passed on to the next customer and eventually it will come back to me.
