I’d like to see you get everyone in the entire country to agree on ANYTHING, including but not limited to, not tipping.
Tips are what let’s them get away with, by paying tips you are actually subsidizing the owner of the restaurant.
You subsidizing the owner directly by paying the menu price is worse than “just the tip™” by a long shot. At best they start paying bare minimum wage (absolutely not livable) and upcharge you and keep it. You’re so naïve to how it works here I’d bet either you’ve never even been here, or you’ve never left an inuslar bubble much larger than your house.
I like to see the “endless wave” of people wanting to work for money that doesn’t even let them afford a place to live.
People have this misconception that things are set, while in reality employers will pay as little as they get away with and that works both ways.

It is amazing that they managed to pay their employees so little and also convince them to be mad about it at their customers not them.
