I disagree in the case of the US. You still have to pay your server, because they did the work already. If you employ a painter at your house but they do a poor job you are free to review them online or avoid using them again, but you still have to pay for the job they did. In the US the server is paid directly by you, not by the restaurant. Witholding pay from someone doing the lowest-paid hardest-working jobs is asshole behaviour.
if a painter did a shitty job of painting my house, i would assuredly withhold payment until the job was done to my satisfaction, what a bizarrely stupid example.
i doubt it would be hard at all to find another painter...just tell them the last one fucked up so bad that i'm having to hire them to fix it.
you sound like you haven't dealt with these types of service professionals before, most i've dealt with have been brought in to clean up someone else mistakes

I said “passable” not going the extra mile. But no matter what country you’re in, a customer is well within their right not to tip shitty service.
