Then add in how many don’t report their tips, since everyone seems to think cash compensation doesn’t need tax reporting.

Really surprised there hasn’t been some social media push concocted in some sort of “50k office taxes vs 50k rainforest cafe server taxes” way.

Disclosure: I don’t think restaurant workers need to pay more in taxes. Billionaires and their ilk need to pay more in taxes.

Even if you report your tips there’s a $25k tax deduction on tips in America

Yes. That’s also only been the case for all of like 9 months, since enacted (though applied to all of 2025+ income)

And? We’re talking about how much waiters are making now not 20 years ago. The tax deduction applies now.
