FWIW, there was a restaurant that voluntarily tried this policy in BC in 2014…
AND THEN BEFORE 2014 COULD FINISH…
Owner David Jones said the restaurant has decided to scrap its no-tipping policy in favour of a traditional restaurant model as a result of customer demand.
… >>snip<< …
As a result, the restaurant switched Thursday to the traditional model and dropped menu prices, as well as staff wages.
Tried to just pay the staff well and drop the whole tipping pretense and people just weren’t having it (plus a few other factors).
So, yeah…
//EDIT: forgot to add that the restaurant is still there if you’re curious.
