Tipping should not be a necessity, nor a requirement. It is a fabricated social entitlement in many countries and is only born out of businesses paying their staff meager wages. A price is a price and that is all the cafe/diner/restaurant and staff is entitled too. Any tipping need be left up to the customer'(s)/diner'(s) and NO negative stigma should be EVER be projected onto a customer who pays their bill as quoted from prices listed + any tax. The rest is a conceited expectation. Change the pricing, so staff can earn better wages if its a problem. I agree with you to a point. All restaurants would have to agree to this-that's a lot of restaurants. For something that's been going on for a long, long, long time-I'd like to see how that switch over would come to be. With the exception of large groups, where the tip is automatic in most places(which people complain about). It might take away the server who goes the extra mile. I own a food establishment, but it's me. And while people will tip me, a lot nowadays-I'm not dependent on them. I just ask that they continue to come in. But those who do serve as a living, they are extremely dependent on those tips. You can blame the business owner. But many were not owners at the time the tip was established. Like I said, they would all have to go in on this in order for it to work out right for the employees.
