Tipping is an American Institution. It is part of the fabric of this country. I don't know about you but I tip everybody in the service industry. The tip that I give I expect to go directly to that person and I will tip CASH to make sure that happens. Look if you don't want to tip, I get it, but what they are really trying to do is eliminate tips and institute service charges. What that means is that a service fee whether the service was good or bad will automatically be added to your bill and the restaurant will divide that as they see fit. At first that money will be split as to lower the cost of payroll for the restaurant and later down the line it will just be another revenue stream for the restaurant and you no longer have any control over the service you receive. It's a SCAM don't fall for it. There is real push with a flood of articles to try to convince you to accept this.
