Oh wow, we have to get rid of tipping. What a revolutionary concept! Except that the rest of the world has never had it and their restaurants are fine.
There is still to this day a big line outside of Momofuku for his overrated ramen, everyday. So why is his ramen $19* and not $28?

Traditional advertising is a huge no-no for a trendy restaurant, so they have to spend their marketing budget this way.
