If your argument wasn’t that a no-tip restaurant would seem higher priced, what was the purpose of your second paragraph? > There's very few high-service income workers. Yes, we’re in agreement? I was just referring to how the opposition here would trot out quotes from some bartender who makes $75/hour and not mention that they were the upper fraction of a percent and the median was considerably lower.

Seeming higher priced != higher priced if there's the expectation of tipping and you follow it, but the average consumer isn't very savvy so it ends up scaring them away. Which is why restaurants that try to include service in their pricing end up reverting or failing. Also the only opposition is really from consumers (which then spills over to owners who get to hear all the complaints). Europeans get along fine with not tipping.
