There's a particular French-inspired cafe near me that specifically doesn't accept tips - they don't even give you the option. Their apparent prices are much higher than comparable places (something that's $12 across the street might be $15 here). And they are always packed. I love going to this place. It's the only place that doesn't demand extra time, thought, work, money, and sometimes a calculator from me in order for me to enjoy a cup of coffee and a crepe by the window. On a totally different scale of spending, when my wife and I were choosing a resort for vacation, we specifically chose one that disallows - not discourages, but specifically disallows - tips. Because, for me, half of the point of a vacation is to spend a week not thinking about money, finances, budgeting, etc. Given the choice between an expensive "tips not allowed" place and a nominally-cheaper-but-not-really "tips encouraged" place, I'll choose the more expensive option every time.
