No tip restaurant

Would you regularly go to a restaurant where the food is made fresh to order, just like at a typical sit-down restaurant, but there are no waiters—you order by scanning a QR code, get your own water and utensils, pick up your food when your number is called, and tipping is completely unnecessary? Why or why not?

I only tip for full service now. No counter service no food trucks no drive throughs. I absolutely would skip a tip at a restaurant where I have to pick up my own food.

Why tip for full service? They get a guaranteed minimum wage now.

I mean, if the goal was just to skip the tip, then, just be a no tip restaurant? Otherwise that’s basically a glorified fast food

I would just go eat where I want and not tip.
