The expected tip should be included within the price so the workers are paid fairly by default. Tipping can still exist to show appreciation, but it needs to have a maximum. $1-2 per individual, or $5 combined. They should be extra in every sense of the word. I make sure to tip at least $0.50-$1.00 for perhaps a $2.50 drink at a local coffee shop because I absolutely love that place. I’m tipping to reflect that they’re my favorite. That’s what it should be like.
If only that cost could somehow be included in the price of the food and not reliant upon a voluntary donation from the customer as a % of the bill.
