Me too - though I've lived in both.

Choosing to frequent a business that you know underpays their workers, where you know those workers rely on tips to survive, then choosing to take their labour and not pay for that labour isn't an arsehole tax - it's an arsehole subsidy, and it's the workers footing the bill.

I think workers should be paid enough to live comfortably without relying on tips, and that they should be a nice, but entirely unnecessary option - but you don't get to steal workers' labour just because you disagree with tipping.
