Everyone in the west knows about tipping. No one is being misled. There have been many attempts to run restaurants with higher prices but no tipping. They always go out of business.
That’s a bold assumption. I’m in the west too. Tipping is not a thing here (at least not in that way). Having a price on the menu and asking for more is also frowned upon here, not to mention illegal.
When one mentions “the west” it means the western world, not “west of the Atlantic”. If you’re going to make your own definitions for words you should at least be clear about it.

I’m talking about west of the Atlantic, not Europe.
And I’m not defending the practice of tipping. I hate tipping. But what I hate even more are smug people who think it’s so easy to get rid of tipping.
