The tipless restaurant is still a long way from becoming the norm, but some New Yorkers are beginning to warm to the idea.

"At first, I really thought that if a waiter was rude, I would want my discontent to be reflected in their tip," said Noel Warren, a young New Yorker who dines out at least twice a week.

"But then I thought, why would a waiter be disrespectful in the first place? Probably because he or she has lost faith that customers are going to tip well -- so why put in any effort?"

Warren mused that it might in fact be fairer to take the decision about tips out of the fickle hands of restaurant patrons -- which might even improve the table service that patrons.

"If they were properly compensated for their work, they might treat their customers better," Warren said."
