I really don't understand what the issue is with tipping. I am American and I love the custom. I feel being able to pay directly the person I have received a service from is very powerful. I think it does incentivise a better work ethic and it's a very social way of affording a middle class income. Now states that reduce the minimum wage for tip workers, that's evil (I live in California).

    FYI in most jurisdictions the tip is shared by both wait and kitchen staff, by law.

People are cheapskates and get uncomfortable when confronting that reality so they want to blame the system instead of looking at themselves
