    I don’t. I’d like to see us moving away from tipping culture in general, and this would make it harder.

      A lot of people depend on tips. You wouldn’t be able to get rid of it without hurting the businesses they work for, or the consumer.

        You can clearly afford to run a business and pay your employees a living wage, rather than subjecting them to the fickle whims of the customers. Go look at most of Europe.

        Your gf can get a job that doesn’t rely on tips?

        Or you could get one to help.

        Just saying “many people drink their own piss” doesn’t make piss a good drink.

          I’ve got a job and why should she get a different job when she makes more at the one she’s at than she can make anywhere else at the moment. And if they stop taxing tips, she’ll really make good money. Plus, that wouldn’t hurt her employers bottom line
