For the longest time tipping was very stable and nobody said much but with the covid-inspired tipping greed hopefully you're right. If enough people get pissed off maybe something will happen for tipping to be eliminated. I personally haven't sat down in a restaurant since the end of 2019, haven't done a food delivery since 2021, and that won't change until tipping is gone.
