Mandatory tipping is stupid.

Voluntary tipping is fine.

Thereโ€™s no such thing as mandatory tipping. If itโ€™s mandatory they have to display it as part of the price.

I canโ€™t accept tips, because itโ€™s a bribe.

How? If you tip a waiter after they've done their job, all wrapped up and finished, how do you benefit? It's not like they're going to remember you the next time you come in. They see hundreds of faces a day.

I've no idea if you're a waiter, but that's the example.

It's not a bribe, but the benefit is recieving better, more prompt service if a tip is on the line. Waitstaff often does remember patrons. I'm not condoning it, just explaining

If you want to voluntarily give me money for doing my job, be my guest.
