Sure, don't abolish tips, just make it not the norm. Or rather return the custom to fine dining. We're all just upset that we're being asked for tips at places like McDonalds or takeout. That's just a push back to feudalism

A friend of mine told me flat out that although he thinks tip abolition is the right thing to do policywise, he and his waiter friends personally hope it doesn't happen because it would effectively result in a pay cut for them (even though it would probably increase wages for BOH workers, waiters at low-volume restaurants, etc.).
