    I would say the reliability of pay is a good reason. Tipped workers can’t count on a consistent amount of money. A bad month or even a bad week can mean rent doesn’t get paid.

        And that’s why we have workers compensation. The government subsidizes wages in times of hardship. Cutting taxes on tips would allow those workers to weather periodic lulls better.
