Yep, but the underlying problem is not tipping, it is just shitty US laws, otherwise we would see the same low wage in Canada because tip culture is the same
it didn't start that way, it was a way to ensure prompt attentive service, it was on the table at the start so staff saw a bonus coming for being very attentive. Not saying that is a good way either, but USA has allowed it to drive down wages. Here minimum wage is almost identical across the country regardless of job type.

One thought that could change this whole thing:
Paying higher wages.
It's a crazy idea!

Prices went up anyway. Minimum wage increases aren't a permanent fix, of course.
But let's do them anyway, and stop trying to predict the future.

Suggested, not mandatory. Some places have stopped allowing tips being accepted by staff.

That's only if you live in a state where they're allowed to pay that
