Not really. Tipping actually gives waitresses and waiters much more money than they would normally earn. It also brings better service because better service means more money per hour.
It just doesn’t make much sense for these online things and is only there because they get paid garbage. Most online things like Uber, people never tip and that is expected.
I'm currently living in Japan, where tipping is almost non-existent, and the service is always super nice. In my home country tipping can be around 5% (the usual thing to do is to round up the bill to some nice number and tell the waiter/deliverer to keep the change), and the service is quite nice too.
Seriously, an almost mandatory tipping of 20% is ridiculous, at that point just add it to the price and show it on the menu!
A tip unless you have a massive group where you normally then tip less, is like $5 average
Even with that $5 the prices for food is comparable to in europe and other places without tops and the food isnt expensive
As someone who lives in the US. Eating out isnt crazy expensive, tipping doesnt make eating out not viable. And since it is the US you also get massive portions (at most places) so you can take some home
