Customers, who should have felt good since they didn't need to worry about "How should I tip right?" question, now they actually get worse service because the waiters don't even have a reason to worry anymore. And it really raises a question: should we ban the practice of tipping or not? Even though Eater made an extremely solid point that needs to be considered, I still believe that the tipping system should be banned as it harms society in many other ways, and as waiters have now gotten what they think they deserve, they they can actually do a better job and provide better services. After all, you can't give 100% if you think you've been ripped off by your employer, and we can only see how this will end if we start dealing with the issue by applying solutions to real life instead of theorizing about
