It's a terrible practice and ultimately hurts workers. It should be banned simply because it promotes worker tax evasion, which is not what I really care about here, but it's a good reason to make it illegal. Making it illegal is only way to stop it in the US. It's absolutely rampant. You pick up donuts At the dunkin store and they ask for a tip now.

it promotes worker tax evasion

this is the only argument I'll hear in favor of tipping. People should cheat on their taxes until they pay as little as the wealthy.

I don't agree. Just tax the rich properly.

I mean, I get where you’re coming from. But modern US does not spend our tax money justly or wisely. Infrastructure crumbling, social services abysmal, arts funding abysmal…we are constantly taking our great revenue and mishandling it while people across the country suffer. Our system works for the rich, while running on money from the poor. The entire system is broken, taxing the rich will not solve the problem.
