I've seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They'd rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.

I think those people tend to make a lot of money off tips. There have been times I could get way more than you'd get from any paycheck a restaurant would ever be willing to pay, even with the laws changed for that sector, for "less" work. Depending on the place you work at you could have $300+ a night cash Friday-Sunday and that's me going back to what I remember from 12 years ago so who knows what they're able to get now.

I don't even make $900 a week now in a psudo-managment position in a factory. Not that the $900 is consistent there for those in food service, I just think that's one reason people would be openly resistant to the idea of changing how tipping works.
