I frequently see tipped employees argue _in favor_ of tipping because it allows them to have a higher take-home than they normally could get at an hourly job. I think tipped establishments could have success by removing tipping but offering commission to their formerly-tipped staff. It's built into the price (bonus points if they add sales tax as well), so you just pay what it says on the menu, and the servers stay happy. Or you can just pay a good hourly wage, but no one really seems interested in making that happen.
