Tipping is so awkward for everyone involved but to get rid of it would upset a large segment of society. It's foremost out of control and I think it's because of greed, which is not a bad thing because everyone wants to get as much money as they can. The problem is that the greed has exacerbated beyond reasonable greed and now threatens social cohesion, and commerce. The guilt with tipping, or not tipping enough, or when they bring the card swipe to the table and look at you while you tip. It's.. awful. Simply awful. I am tired of tipping for what seems to be the basic function of a job, then being tacitly or overtly being guilted into tipping more. In my large American city is the reason I don't go out as often.
