    The trouble with tipping in restaurants is that it unfairly targets servers for unhappiness with the entire experience. Food over/under cooked? Too salty? Lights too bright/dim? Too much noise? Express your opinion by cutting down on the tip.

    I worked as a cook for years, and I learned that my mistakes caused problems for the servers, not me. Eliminating tips is a great first step in making service work fair. The next step is raising the minimum wage.

      I think Gordon Ramsay said he doesn’t allow tipping in his restaurants.

      He pointed out that if there is a problem they take it out on the wait staff instead of reporting it so the problem can be fixed.
