I also don't really think it would be THAT hard to get rid of tipping. Uber did it basically overnight
How much do you tip on a $500 tab?
More than you make in a week.

maybe my tips are why I get triples.
Why not just raise the price of food 15%, and give servers 15% of sales as commision. Also make those fuckers pay taxes on their incomes.bmoney, do you actually think restaurants will not keep a large percentage of what used to be tips? For chains, it would be an easy way for chains to add to their bottom lines. It's free profit.

Give a tip for taking a beer out of the fridge? Fuck that.
You probably (/hopefully) drink a lot of bartender spit. The fuck.
I'm pretty much a straight 20%+ tipper on everything. Usually more, and at the bar where I know the bartenders, usually 30-40% when I go.
You can really tell who's never been a waiter or worked in the business in this thread.
To be fair, there have been a couple of times where the person working there has been more helpful and guided me on some things to pick up.
I think one the reasons I tip well in those scenarios is imagined guilt. Like at the end of the night, they look at the credit card receipts and say, "this qcdeac was a cheap bastard. He only tipped $3 on $28." So I end up writing 'To-Go' on the receipt, or just tipping a few $ more.
somma y'all need:
1. Work in service industry at some point for perspective
2. More money homie
suckas
I'll give like 12-15% in that case. I do it more for capacity reasons than the "work" the bartender did for me. My butt in the stool for an extended period of time in a crowded bar equals potential lost sales from the schmo who comes in and wants to sit at the bar and drink and eat but there isn't a seat (especially if my orders are lagging behind my time there).
I completely empathize with the service industry. I just think they should be guaranteed a living wage and not have their livelihood rely on the arbitrary opinions of the customers (as well as how busy the place is). If restaurants have to change their business model and some can't keep up as a result, then so be it. And if happy-go-lucky people want to give a small tip because of excellent service even though servers are making living wages, then have at it. But tipping automatically is just stupid.
With all that said, I'm not really a big drinker and certainly not a bar regular anywhere.
I'm a fan of the "co-op" model in which all employees are part owners, everyone is paid a living wage, and tipping is forbidden.
