It would be nice if tipping was just gone, and everybody got paid a living wage, like in most of the rest of the world. We're in a Nash equilibrium right now where if you don't tip, you're an asshole. Other people might even tip more if they hear about it, which reinforces the status quo. So I keep tipping well, and disliking that we're stuck here.
How can we end tipping culture and just have everyone be paid a living wage?
I agree 100% Anybody who doesn't has never worked in the service industry.
I do not, however, think we need to start added new jobs to that system. Everyone understands that you have to tip your server in order for them to get paid. People aren't going to know it if we start adding cashiers and other positions to that list.
