Yes, tipping has gotten out of hand.
I read an article about the history of tipping. It's been around for centuries. One side effect, possibly intended, was to create a permanent underclass whose income depended on pleasing the elite. The author stated that tipping became common in the US because it was used to keep the recently liberated blacks subservient and dependent. Pullman porters, who were all black men, were paid peanuts and depended on tips from travelers to make a living.
There is no reason for it to still be around and should be abolished.
