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?
I’m thinking the government needs to fix the prices where they are and force humanity to accept a 30$/hr minimum wage to gain back the equivalent buying power of an individual in the 70s.
