no tipping
Service charge included
No tipping describes a policy where gratuities are neither expected nor accepted, typically at restaurants or other service establishments.
Such businesses usually pay staff higher wages to compensate: It's a no-tipping restaurant—the service charge is built into the prices.
The practice challenges American tipping culture, where gratuities traditionally supplement servers' income.
