Not to mention that servers who don’t make enough in tips will just get fired. Or for the few places where you can’t fire an employee without cause, they’ll be given fewer and fewer hours, to the point where the wages becomes completely unlivable and they have no choice but to quit.
The employer has to make up the difference in wages for the employee, but now you’ve added a financial incentive to get rid of said employee because they end up costing you more than ones who earn more tips.
This situation is often completely outside of the server’s control.
I guess my point was if we collectively stopped tipping everyone the business couldn’t weed out servers that way, because the business would have to ensure all of them are covered.
