We’ve eaten at several “No Tipping” establishments over the past few months, most recently at two bars with lite food fare in the City.

I didn’t notice a significant increase in the prices of the food or drink, which was a bit of a surprise.

The service was fine and the staff was friendly. There was, perhaps, a sense of relief from the burden of “earning” a tip….or, perhaps, I was projecting my feelings.

When the check came, I had to remind myself of the “No Tipping” policy. I paid but left with sense of something being incomplete.

I wonder whether this new policy will become more popular.
