The tipping culture in America is meant for the customer to subsidize the restaurant owners. And so the tipped minimum wage is super-low, with owners expecting customers to pay up. I'd rather tipping culture be scrapped in the US, with waitstaff wages coming solely from the restaurant. Sure, they could jack up the prices of food. Then, we'll just let the market decide.
