A group of popular local restaurants has officially banned tipping. Instead, they’ve raised their prices by 20% and pay their staff a much higher flat "living wage." The owners say it removes the "awkwardness" at the end of a meal, but some regular customers are complaining because they feel they've lost the power to "reward good service" or "punish bad service."

Would you rather pay a higher, "all-inclusive" price for your meal and never have to tip again, or do you prefer having the power to decide how much the service was worth?
