I don’t think any of this is fixed by banning tips.

As I said, tipping shouldn’t be mandatory nor required for someone to make a living serving, frankly, relatively wealthy people and experience.

If someone owns a restaurant, I can show gratitude by coming more. If my clients like me, they can show gratitude by giving me more business. If a server does a great job independent of their employer, a tip is a good way of showing that.

(That said, if a group of employees has agreed to no tips, they should refuse them and one shouldn’t push.)
