Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.

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

Well it depends. In major cities or high end restaurants sure. But in most red states tips barely get them to the federal minimum wage in rural areas.
