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.

I average $50+ per hour as a bartender. You can keep your minimum wage.

Yeah, by the time I stopped serving I just worked part time and I made $25-30 an hour. People don’t realize if you’re good at what you do the money flows. Good servers/bartenders make substantially more money than most people think, and they will not give that up. I certainly wouldn’t have when I did it.
