These places don't give you much in the way of service
Most places that set out tip jars are not places where tips are traditionally expected. These places don't give you much in the way of service, but they try to get extra money from custmers anyway.
Could I replace the bolded parts in the above with the following? Thanks.
... put out/lay out ... in the respect/aspect of service; with reference/regards to service; concerning/regarding/on/about service ...

Actually, all are Standard, and all seem particularly well suited to Formal writing, which is often measured or thoughtful exposition.
