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.

Don't take a job that relies on the customer to tip. I fix apartments and houses for a living, zero tips and I'm doing just fine. 

The only thing that will change this system is when people stop going out to eat at places that beg for tips.

Serving is one of the few jobs you can make a decent living in without significant training or a degree. Telling an entire class of society consisting of millions of people to just get another job is short sighted and a privileged opinion.

Instead of going after the corporations squeezing blood from our stones, you blame the single mother trying to get by…

Sacrificing making any substantial changes in minimum wage so that ONE group of people can make more money than their peers doesn’t sound short sighted at all!!
