Maybe the service industry should stop suggesting a tip of 20% of the price of the dinner and find a more appropriate way to reward staff for a job well done.

Increase every item on the menu by 20% and pay staff 20% of their sales each shift. Then staff doesn't see a decrease in pay, therefore does not quit and leave us with Burger King level employees. And the customer sees very little difference in overall money spent.

They could even just do a 15% price increase and pay them 15% of sales instead because even if we did away with tipping, a lot of people would still feel obligated and tip with cash anyway.
