    There’s a new cider brewery that opened downtown that has no tipping. It’s quite liberating.

      Yeah, I lived downtown. Highrises at first, then in the Holly neighborhood. What I found was that places that did not allow tips had far friendlier staff and paying was stress free. In contrast, I now live in Jackson, Wyoming and I barely eat out. To go orders are automatically charged 20% gratuity and if you dine in your options are 25%-30%-35%. That sort of bullshit sours the experience. Just bump the prices by 30%, ban tips, and pay your fucking staff a high wage. Lord knows rent is expensive as fuck here (if you can even find a place).
