It an unspoken rule that you tip... the wait staff gets paid well below minimum wage for such said reasons

Fact remains that it is optional. Also unspoken rule that if you don't see your waitstaff for most of the night, they didn't actually work for more than that less-than-minimum wage now, did they?

Doesnt matter, they are working in a service capacity. If I feel they are under preforming in that service that badly I just wont tip. On the flip side I will generally tip more than 15% if the service is exceptional.

It's also there for incentive to treat customers better. If they don't do that, they don't get paid, or the restaurant has to reimburse

i would not have tipped in that situation if the service had been that bad and i'm usually a generous tipper. i don't believe in rewarding crappy service, it only encourages more of the same. if everything was that bad and there wasn't any attempt to make it up to you i would have left no tip and i would have spoken to the manger or owner.
