This is just an Australian / European / African thing to not tip. Americans go out to eat to splurge and love adding cash directly into the pocket of a server. Patrons are happy, service is happy, pleasant attitudes all around in the richest country in the world.

how happy is it for the chef, kitchen assistants or waitress stuck on the quiet shift though?
Tipping at restaurants = big, pointless, outdated joke.
All an ego trip and an excuse to have someone grovelling.
Solution: abolish the practice + pay higher wages instead.
Don't like it , then just cook for yourself or get another job.
how about it?
How about quit trying to tell people how to spend their money? That's the entire problem. People, even some that have good intentions, trying to run others lives for them.
In college, I waited tables at a high end steak house.. I gave outstanding service and recieved great tips. Today when I go to a restaurant I tip accordingly to the service recieved. If I get great service I leave a great tip. If a waiter or waitress can't be bothered then I still leave a tip, but it is small enough to let them know of my displeasure with their service. It was a great incentive for me when I worked in the food service industry and it seems to work even today. The places I go know me and I usually get exceptional service.
50/50 split for pooled tip amongst ALL staff that worked that shift (50 to staff, 50 to owner)
sound good?
You are still tipping and can't force people to share money handed directly to them by someone who only wants THEM to have it. So no, not good. There would have to be a real push to let people know tipping isn't allowed AT ALL. Getting stuck in a whishy-washy middle ground is the problem we face.

It's all part of a bigger picture, so no way - I'll never quit.
Not until World Socialism has been achieved.
Not until Marx's glorious prophecy has been realised!
The better, and thus higher paid workers, don't work the quiet shifts.
How happy is it for the ones who don't?
