Midnitte,

On the flipside, you’re also punishing working people who typically are paid crummily

The national minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13/hour but, by law, restaurants must pay servers an hourly wage of at least $7.25/hour. That means if you don’t earn enough tips to average $7.25/hour during a pay period, the restaurant must increase your hourly wage accordingly. - Source

We shouldn’t have to subsidize their crummy wages, but that’s a political change we have to push for - not giving someone a tip now hurts them now.

On the other other flipside, businesses have been trying to be scummy with tips.

Tipping for self checkout

My mantra is push for living wages where people don’t need tips, and tip people in person, not a machine.
