Some places in America are doing that. It's not always easy - and here's a NYT article that covers some of the benefits and issues: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/dining/restaurants-no-tipping-service.html?_r=0 https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/dining/restaurants-no-tip... Locally even here in rural Idaho, one of our best local restaurants recently switched to no-tipping pricing. I'd say that as a diner, I _feel_ like I'm paying more for my meal, even though I always tipped at least 20% before the switch. As someone who grew up in a "tipping culture" I'd say that the act of tipping doesn't bother me, so much as the pain point of having cash in the correct denominations for things like tipping Uber drivers or valets.
