Leaving money at the restaurant table ... fact or fiction ?

[mrr1]

Tipping is just a way for employers to download their responsibility for paying decent wages directly onto the shoulders of their customers.

I wish restaurants would eliminate tipping altogether, pay their employees better salaries, and just increase the cost of their menu items to make up for it. No tips required - we pay for what we agreed to at the start. Then we can do away with this awkward "tip" nonsense.
