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
Deserve's got nothing to do with it! When I shop at places that clearly establish an expectation of tipping, I tip, because I can read a straightforward social cue about the arrangements the business operates under. If I objected to tipping there, I wouldn't do business with them.
