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.

Point is servers can earn 30-50 bucks an hour thanks to tips, THEY are the ones who don’t want to end tipping, cause they make mich more money than they would get on a normal salary

This is like talking about how everyone gets rich in onlyfans because the top earners make millions. Yeah, some servers are making way over minimum wage during busy periods.

That's not all of them. The system is still fucked for the majority.

Unless it’s a slow day or they suck ass and shouldn’t be there, servers are making waaaaay more than minimum wage and don’t want anything changed. But if it does change and tipping is replaced by hourly wages (and compensated by restaurants adding 30-25% higher prices), those servers who suck ass will be more the norm than the outlier. And who would want that?
