People refusing to work for salaries that are too small, employers jack up their prices by the equivalent of what used to be tips and offer better salary. Tipping is an unegotiated unilateral contract. It is basically a power trip. A local restaurant chain here adverised that they had increased staff salary and would automatically charge 15% (normal tip around here) of the bill for service to everybody to compensate. This way, the prices on the menu stayed competitive with other restaurants, they were able to pay their staff better, and customers would end up paying the same as before. They had to stop the experiment within a month of two because people stopped going to their restaurants. Why? What's the difference? Basically people no longer had their little power trip.
