Why Restaurants Are Ditching The Switch To No Tipping

http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/...ntent=20160515

The idea has been to rectify a basic pay unfairness to even out the pay between tipped and untipped employees. Dishwashers and cooks at the back of the house don't earn as much money as waiters because they don't get tips.

So, do away with tipping, raise menu prices a little bit, and pay everyone a higher wage.

But that experiment has failed at some restaurants.
