>And...... you lose your mind if no tip.
Not really. If it's a one-off thing, the waiter might roll their eyes when they realize it, but no one is going to flip out over it.
>If you're a regular, a known no tipper, you hold that against them in future.
Yes, if you get a reputation for cheaping out and never leaving tips, people will hold that against you as they should. If it's bad enough you definitely will get lower quality service if not be banned from the establishment.
You are gaming the system and basically stealing free labor. If you don't tip, the employee who was providing service for you doesn't get paid. It's one thing if you don't pay them because the service was bad, but if you are routinely not leaving tips just to save money, that's morally theft.
>The business should set the price, if that means 30% extra, so be it.
>Customers decide whether to pay it or not,
So just a more retarded version of tipping.
>if they don't, you go out of business.
Pretty much every restaurant that tries to eliminate tipping and pay their employees a fixed wage is a disaster and almost immediately goes out of business. No workers will want to work there because they will make more at a place that has tipping. Customers will stop going there because your menu prices will be significantly higher than they should be. Cheapskate no-tippers definitely don't go there because they can keep gaming the system and paying less at the tipping restaurants.
>How about, pay a higher basic and attract a higher caliber of staff?
Literally none of them would work at a place with no tips. The best waiters and bartenders at nice restaurants in major cities often earn six figures precisely because of tipping. It would be a massive reduction in income to get paid whatever you consider a high basic pay.
