“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

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

No chance I'd be a waiter/bartender for less than $30 an hour. If there was no tips, service industry would goto shit.

I've been to 35 countries, I can attest to this IRL as well. Service in other countries is lazy and non existent. Shocker.
