You don't have to forbid tipping. Uber doesn't. But it made it clear that tipping isn't expected and 90%+ don't tip
Utopia. How does one forbid tipping? They'd just give away free drinks, and get tipped anyway. Cash still exists, as difficult as that may be to believe.
No American restaurant owner will ever willingly surrender the advantage that comes with the knowledge that the customers who line the pockets of said owner also pay the employees.
lol there are places that exist that function in this model in america *gasp* as we speak
Where?
About 18 percent of surveyed restaurant professionals said they've already adopted a no-tip model, according to an American Express Restaurant Trade Survey that was released in mid-May.
The survey was conducted among a random sample of 503 U.S. restaurateurs, excluding Connolly.
Some 29 percent said they plan to adopt a no-tip policy, according to the survey.
Where?
The sample size is small, but still relevant.

You can't tip the caddies at Augusta National.
Augusta would still prefer not to pay the caddies.
Also, received a rather SPICY neg-rep from our resident everyman with a boat, Catamount. What an angry, angry man.
There's a fine line between "perks" and "stuff you basically paid for in advance via huge tips"
Y'all overstating how much extra tip is needed to be a VIP, especially at the neighborhood bar.
Like we used say about James, the bartender at McCormick & Schmick's on Wilshire and Rodeo, he understood the inverse relationship between or tabs and his tips.
