Tipping culture needs to end anyway. Pay the employees properly.

My social anxiety increased to an all time high when I visited the US. The pressure to tip is real.

The problem is that those receiving the tips will continue to expect them no matter how high their wage is. Some would even argue that they get overall lower income if the increase in base wage eliminates tipping.

Tipped employees make WAY more than minimum wage

My 18 year old with her first job made $130 in 4 hours this week. Minimum wage will never keep up with tipped wages, which is the exact reason that people choose tipped jobs.

MANDATORY tipping should end. Tipping on top of fair wages can and does still exist in most of the world.
