This has been tried and restaurants ended up losing wait staff because they preferred getting tips. It’s not just the dollars they make, but the instant gratification they get from the tip. There are probably still some where there are no tips, but many have reverted back. I don’t really care whether we tip 20% or prices increase 20% with no tip. Not a big deal either way to me. However, although rare, I have left no tip or less than 20% if I find service to be awful.
Aside from restaurants, there are other places where people make a fair wage and still get tips for a job well done by some customers. In this setting you can just choose to not tip.
