It was a big help during the pandemic lockdown for all the staff that suddenly didn't have indoor dining as an option for income. Now that dining restrictions are gone, I see it as incredibly unnecessary.

The profit margin for a restaurant is typically pretty small. Any increase in pay they could give their employees is going to drastically impact the menu prices as the cost gets passed to the consumers. There's a reason so many restaurants go out of business within the first 5 years of opening. I'm certainly not arguing the system is the best, but the service industry is incredibly tough, and not tipping is just bad etiquette in countries where it is expected.

Clearly written by someone that's never worked in the industry. An even better solution is order takeout if you don't want to tip. Servers have to typically tip out to their support staff like busboys and bartenders. Not leaving a tip just means they pay out of their pocket.

I just kept being mesmerized by how smooth the hair movement progresses from tight and tied to loose as the dance moves on. Great job!
