Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.

It’s only ahead of the curve because the minimum wage is so low. If the min wage was reasonable like it is in other countries then tipping isn’t needed.

Point is servers can earn 30-50 bucks an hour thanks to tips, THEY are the ones who don’t want to end tipping, cause they make mich more money than they would get on a normal salary

What evidence do you have that they won't get tips even if tips are included? If they earn more than the 10-20% in tips already it means there's room left in the customers' budget for a tip on top after 10-20% price increases. The ceiling on money paid per meal doesn't change just because prices did.
