I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here

Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
Tips work out to more than $30/hr huh. Wonder if they were split with back of house or not?
Edit: Also the solution to the question of individual people getting less hours is to just make it a salaried position that pays out a fixed amount per month, so that everyone on average ends up working the same amount of dinner rushes/slow shifts etc.
I think we all know the answer to this question.
I think some restaurants do this, I've never worked at one.
Most do, but BoH usually gets a pittance compared to what FoH makes.
FoH still manages to play the victim all the time though.
