I'm sure everyone will have an opinion on this topic, as
those who have discovered upon traveling to other states and
countries, that hotels & restaurants are starting to replace the
practice of consumer tipping and automatically adding it into the
bill. What do you think of this practice?

Eateries choose service charges over tips

By Laura Bly

(article snipped)

Better they should ban tips and just pay everyone a decent wage to
start
with? The bottom-line cost to the customer would be the same. I
dearly wish
the minimum-wage law for 'tipping' jobs and the IRS assumption of 7%
(I
think),

8%, at least back around the mid 80's when the guidelines were put
out. might be more now since the average tip was around 10% then,
and is 15% now.


would be taken out of the law.
