There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.
Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?
Does this actually happen though?
It’s the law but due to how working for wage thieving losers works, it doesn’t happen in practice.
I doubt it because the “culture” is that you’re a horrible person if you don’t tip stupid amounts so people are shamed into it.
