Just do what I do - don’t go out to sit-down restaurants. Eat at home. Too many restaurants in US. No need for it. We aren’t going to be needing as much retail and we aren’t going to be needing as many restaurants.
My main gripe with tipping is that it has just become so pervasive in recent years. Not only does everyone in just about every service industry expect a tip, that tip had better be no less than 20% or you'll hear complaining.
I have no problem leaving a good tip when it is customary, but that doesn't mean I can't question how much I feel that the services funded by my tipping are worth.
