Not everywhere, that's for sure.

The waitresses said they make the federal minimum wage for tipped workers, which is $2.13 per hour. The intention is that the bulk of their income will primarily come from tips. Schoolmeester-Cochran estimated she works anywhere from 21 to 35 hours each week and, with tips, brings in a salary ranging from $70 some weeks to $170 others. <-- Waffle House employee

But the rare places they don't are also places where the alternative is fed min wage -- also unlivable poverty -- , under table submin wage, or no job at all / mlm psychosis.

I get it's unpopular to speak in support of tips. People hate tipping so much. But until we seriously talk about what will replace it, all the demands to ban it are just part of false consciousness. We need to be more honest that most of the antitip culture is not coming from people who want the working class supported. It comes from people who think these workers are being paid too much.
