They're just too far ahead of the game. Hatred for tips is growing but not past the, err, tipping point yet. Or non-tipping point, if you prefer.

But my main point is, nothing is going to stop the tipping train until it rams into a wall. With "sometimes I get some tip money, especially when I use dark patterns" on one side of the ledger, the increasing annoyance people have with tipping is just going to be ignored and therefore grow until it boils over.

We're not there yet. But barring some sort of legislative intervention, we are going to get there. There's no stopper between here and there anymore. Don't know when, but I can't imagine it'll be 10 years or anything.
