I would not object to a law banning establishments from requesting tips before service has been provided.
They shouldn't request tips at all. Tips only should be provided if a customer feels like the service was above and beyond normal.
That's not true in the US. They have a tipped minimum wage; there, if you're not tipping you're stealing someone's labour.
It is a sucky system, as the buried lede in that article shows:
But, until it is burned to the ground, that is the system and (in the US) you should not use it to exploit people.
engaging with tipping culture effectively means enabling said culture
not to mention that employers in the USA still have to match up to the federal minimum wage if tips dont add up to the federal minimum wage
'if you dont tip they dont make minimum wage!' is effectively nonsense
