The only thing tipping has going for it is it makes the waiter or whoever more accountable. They are encouraged to do a good job in order to get their money. Eliminate tipping and give them a higher wage and you'll still pay the tip (in the form of higher prices to cover the extra cost), but you don't have recourse against someone who gives you bad service.
Also, I've known people who have worked as waitresses, and in many restaurants they are required to divide their tips evenly, give some of their tips to other staff members, etc. That's just stupid. If a waitress does an exceptional job and gets great tips accordingly, she shouldn't have to let other people leech off her good work.
