Paying staff almost slave wages then ridiculing or ‘expecting’ diverse people to tip? And tip is not even the correct word is full of major faults. How it ever caught on and keeps going is mind boggling, so many things that mess it up beyond the obvious ones. I think the system around the world mentioned by you is far, better in every way.
Not every way we do something is the best way. And nothing says certain things can't be changed.
