Jay RaynerOver on some other bear pit, there's been a lot of talk today about tipping in restaurants and how confusing it is. I'd like to see it end altogether.Menu prices would rise but I'd know that what I see is what I'm paying and that the people serving me are being paid a decent wage and aren't dependent on tips. it requires a lot of cultural and admin changes, but it works in Japan, France and Australia so there's no reason it couldn't work here. What do you think?

One of the many many things I love about Japan, (aside from the best, my amazing daughter in law), is the No Tip policy. Rather than promoting lax service, it seems to encourage better service. Plus, as you say, you know what you are paying for. It removes the judgemental aspect, and makes for a more relaxed experience.
