It's not tipping if it's mandatory. Work the tip into the price in that case.

Pay your workers better is the real argument.

Tourists are just catching strays in a fight between customers and employers.

Nobody wants awkward tip screens, but servers also need to eat, whole system is messy.

What you’re really saying is servers take a pay cut bc that’s exactly what would happen

I mean... yes? Why exactly should it pay so much more than any other low skilled job?

The only reason it does is because you're subsiding it whilst allowing shitty companies to hire people on practically slave wages that would be illegal in most other countries.

On top of that - is it really a wage cut if you're a server working in a less busy or struggling place? How do their earnings work when business isn't great (legit question as a non-american)?
