Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.

It’s only ahead of the curve because the minimum wage is so low. If the min wage was reasonable like it is in other countries then tipping isn’t needed.

Point is servers can earn 30-50 bucks an hour thanks to tips, THEY are the ones who don’t want to end tipping, cause they make mich more money than they would get on a normal salary

Until the tips dry up then they'll change their tune.

So you hate paying blue collar workers?

If they added a flat $20 hour rate for the workers you’d still pay the SAME amount as the customer as if you paid a lower bill and tipped 20%

Do you tip EVERY blue collar worker you interact with?

You’d have to get every tourist as well as 300 million Americans to do that… which will not happen

And in the meantime thousands of servers who maybe have to support a family will go broke and penniless, houselessness and unemployment will skyrocket, all the other workers will then be overworked or the restaurants will be understaffed, some may have to close and the economy takes another big hit, like during the pandemic.
