The USA for years has needed to adopt the European model in which
tips are not expected but optional.
I would MUCH rather pay a "service charge" -- although why they
don't simply figure the cost of labor into the bill is another issue
-- than have to concern myself with figuring what the tip shoud be.
Moreover, "tipping" is also unfair to the employee, who provides
labor which, in the case of a cheapskate customer, may wind up being
uncompenstated.

"A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of
evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation . . . betrays [one nation] into a
participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter . . .
"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free
people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove
that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican
government.
"Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies
against particular nations and passionate attachments for others should
be excluded."
