I'm sorry, the tipping culture has to go. I am disgusted by the optional (but really mandatory) tips. I am disgusted by the social shaming for not tipping. I am disgusted with having to make a calculation every time I receive a service. I am disgusted by the tip field in the receipt, even for things that didn't provide any service. Before the pitchforks come out, let restaurants include the price of tip into menu items. Increase prices on the menu by 20% straight. Then pay your employees wages. It's that easy. Starbucks does it and they don't have a shortage of patrons. It makes patrons come over and over again, regardless of jacked up prices.

There have been restaurants that have tried this but both patrons and workers have rejected the change where it has been tried. Patrons hate the higher prices and workers feel they can make more money with tips. It's a no win for the restaurants. The top tier restaurants is where worker can make multiple times their hourly pay. It's been tried many times with tipping winning every time.
