I don't think it's impossible to get rid of tipping. If you make the wage high enough people will stop tipping, but some will continue. If the credit card companies stop allowing a gratuities line on receipts, or a way to add a gratuite, then tips may go to cash; or run another transaction. The issue I have with tipping is that it's everywhere. From the person who takes your order at a coffee shop, dining, ridesharing, and it's become ridiculous. Ban the solicitation of gratuities in drink and eating establishments; conversely you could make no-tipping a contingent for a restaurant license. If people want to tip, fine, but enough with the asking.
