I think the article is generally BS. The left wants the end of tips because they want a stratified society, where you are only allowed to earn a certain wage, in accordance to your position in society. Getting rid of tips means every dollar is tracked and taxed.

People do have to be wiling to not tip if they don’t receive good service in order to shake those out who aren’t good servers.

I’m ALLLL for tips, but not the “immediately upon purchase, food hasn’t even arrived yet” flip screen thingies at cash registers feel like you’re being forced to pay up at gunpoint (okay not that drastic) even for a mini takeout order or something.

“The left wants the end of tips because they want a stratified society, where you are only allowed to earn a certain wage, in accordance to your position in society.”

Short sighted statement... I know you know that what they really want is all government owned business, and employee compensation is a grub stake and a roof with no heating or cooling. And depending on who’s rear you shine you might get a little better grub stake and roof.

These are just the incremental steps towards that end goal.

Actually, the left wants an end to pay for performance which they believe is akin to slavery. BTW, tips given in cash rather than added to the credit card cannot be tracked and taxed.
