In addition to what @ThunderQueen@lemmy.world has already said… a lot of restaurants also have a tip-out system, wherein the servers have to pay a % of each table’s sales into a shared tip fund to cover bussing, bar staff, the hosts and sometimes kitchen staff. So while I completely agree with the premise, it’s not great to cost your server money when they are often on $2-3/hr.
The last time I was a server in the US we had to tip out 3% of sales to others, but I’m not sure what the industry average is now.
