    Why is your default assumption that wage theft is occurring? If you dont tip the employer will pay min wage that is the law and its regularly enforced. If they dont there are millions of lawyers who will take that open and shut case of wage theft.

    You are trying to argue this stupid position of we must tip because wage theft to white knight for waitstaff but they dont care about that, they just want tips because it pays far above min wage or what waitstaff make in other countries.

      Yeah you have completely misunderstood my point. If you think 7.25 is a living wage, youre still an asshole

        I didnt misunderstand your point is just dumb. If 7.25 is to low then it needs to be raised. The answer is raising the min wage not forcing customers to tip that is so stupid. But even raising min wage to $15 an hour would still have servers complaining because they make way more than that. Getting rid of tipping would put more pressure on the min wage being raised and benefit people who make 7.25 an hour who arent able to collect tips.
