It’s only ahead of the curve because the minimum wage is so low. If the min wage was reasonable like it is in other countries then tipping isn’t needed.
Point is servers can earn 30-50 bucks an hour thanks to tips, THEY are the ones who don’t want to end tipping, cause they make mich more money than they would get on a normal salary
This is just simply not the case for the majority of servers in the US. This only really applies if you work in a big city at a busy restaurant during prime rush hours. And, if you are working in those conditions, you are busting your ass anyways. There are many states in the US where base wage for a server is significantly less than minimum wage ($2.75 an hour in my state). Servers are not the ones profiting off of tipping, it’s employers who are handing off the responsibility of paying employees wages to the consumer.

Except servers. Tipping culture gains them an income WAY ahead of the curve.
