Okay, okay, it's anti-capitalistic on the surface. After meeting with my policy advisors, I have changed my position so that instead of making tips illegal, all tips will be anonymously made to a person via the web. That way, you can tip as much or little as you like without fear of being labeled a cheapskate if you thought the service stank. Right now, the challenge is that any tip below 20 percent means that you can never visit the establishment again without fear of worse service or even reprisal. Because of tipping, I will just tip 20 percent across the board and then not go back to restaurants where I got bad service. Therefore, the restaurant owner gets punished and the server just gets a communistic 20 percent that is fueled by societal pressure.
