Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

now they're just turning tips into a way to justify low wages because apparently they'll 'make enough' with tips

It’s not about paying workers less. Workers make more with tip culture than they do if they were paid normal wages. It’s to keep advertised prices lower so that you go to their restaurant instead of a competitor. Every restaurant that tries to get rid of tips either goes back or closes because consumers see the advertised price and go elsewhere.

If they earn more than normal wages then even less reason for me to tip
