About a restauranteur who eliminated tipping and raised prices

> Prospective diners, seeing menu prices online, got sticker shock.

It seems like it would help some sort of tip-free certification and logo, just like we have with free trade or organic. If the customer knows that a) the price they see is the price they get and b) the staff isn't getting screwed, they might be more willing to visit an establishment.

You could put the tip-free logo on menus, marketing materials, and in the storefront window.



They should have just opened up a cafeteria. The root problem is that you need someone to serve you in order to eat. It's bourgeois and you get bourgeois customs as a result.


Not in most of the civilized world
