Yes, I am making more than the cooks, but my employer is not the one who pays me more than them. I have NO control over how much I make due to tipping culture. That's like the bouncers for the strip club in question complaining to the manager that the girls stripping make more money than them due to "tips" that were thrown on stage.

Which scenario you'd obviously hate.

You've made a bold assumption that I'd hate the no-tipping culture based on nothing. But since you brought it up, I think tipping culture is outrageous. I know food would cost more without it, but going into a restaurant I already KNOW it will cost me at least 20% more simply because of the tip.

I try to give my best service to every table, regardless of what their tip will be. It's my job and it's what I'm paid to do. It does suck to give someone amazing service and bend over backwards to get a shitty tip in the end, but eliminate tipping culture and I'm getting paid fairly for giving good service without having a carrot dangled in front of me.
