Nobody should be responsible for paying an employee's salary other than the employer. It's a ridiculous culture you have in the USA. What is the point of having a minimum legal wage if employers don't have to pay it?

That's the fun part! You just remove the minimum legal wage for servers at the state level.

I got into an "argument" once with a girl who was a former waitress when I suggested that wait staff should be paid actual wages and only tipped if their customer felt they went above and beyond. She was so angry that I would say what I said.

I tip them so they can afford to live.

Yeah, if you want to "make" employers pay them a living wage, vote for people who want to get rid of "tipped wages" to begin with and raise the minimum wage for everyone.

OPs idea just means people stop working jobs that used to be tipped.

We don’t have a tipping culture in Australia and servers get paid fair wages.

Advocate for abolishing tipping culture in favor of real wages, but in the mean time not tipping just hurts workers.

Right or wrong... tipping culture is spreading. A lot of westerners insist on tipping and some service people make more money from tips than they would realistically make from a salary or hourly rate.

I made $30-40/hr as a waiter at 18, paid for school, no other job was going to pay that much at that age. Don’t see the problem here.
