Over 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?

It’s time for restaurants to get rid of tips

The system of service charges is crass, inefficient and demeaning. Let’s end it

@JayRayner the staff Amy not get the money if you do this. Greedy owners won’t pay them anymore.
