I'm curious whether you have ever worked in the service industry?

I have, in the UK. Probably 95% of customers didn't tip. I didn't have any problems with this.

Why?

I was nice to people because that was my job, but when I've travelled to the US I have definitely seen entitled customers treat staff like shit and claiming it's their right because they were tipping.

Tipping as standard should go out the window, it just drives customers to be assholes.
