I’m dubious that tipping is going away, based on my experience living in Portland. Waiters in Portland make a minimum wage of $15.45/hr, tips cannot be used as “credit” to this wage (illegal in Oregon). You’ll still get stink-eye for tipping less than 25%, and that’s at a restaurant where you order at the counter, and bus your own table.

Its blown my mind coming from the tipping capital of the world (Vegas) to Portland. The attitude when you don't give a 20%+ tip is so annoying . In Vegas no one ever shot me a glance or gave a sarcastic "thanks", however here its been shocking how entitled they are especially at the food carts and bars.

I was just trying to convince my friend recently: if you order at the counter and bus your own table, you don't have to tip! Even Subway shows the tip screen now, and only an insane person would tip at Subway.
