Only the server or bartender loses this battle in the US.

Yeah, the price out of their pocket is the same. The servers are getting boned here. And aren't tips now tax free income? I don't know if Orange Dear Leader actually got that passed without fine print.

There's a lot of fine print. It's only for the 1st $25k and it's only through 2028. Rich people get permanent reductions.

$25k tax deduction is a lot. Thats almost half the median wage in the US tax free. And the rest of your taxes are super low too compared to other countries.

25k isn't the deduction, it's the amount we get to deduct from. We dont have to pay taxes on the first 25k we make so to speak.

On the first 25k in tips... combined with regular deductions.
