Impossible? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely. Tipping was originally a way to get your food before everyone else. It's not an economic business model.

Raise prices and be transparent with pricing - which is difficult with tipping since most people are bad at math and don't take out a calculator to see what $127 meal will really cost.

Tipping is a service tax and becoming an entitlement to a generation of workers who have never and likely will never have to really work.

No. Tipping is going away. Learn how to pay your employees properly.
