I too wish we lived in that reality in the US, but we don’t. Any more than we use the metric system or have universal healthcare. Maybe one day.

But today, ask anyone in a tipped position if they’d rather work in a restaurant and get paid a flat “livable” wage and they’d say no. So if they don’t want the system to change and obviously the restaurant owners don’t either, you can’t really advocate for the system to change saying it’s on their behalf.

I'd gladly swap if I got an actually livable wage.

Serving is far from the worst thing i've done for $20/hr. The problem is that 'eliminating tipping' means i'd make $7-12 per hour, which wouldn't even pay rent.

other countries still have tipping. it's just not necessary to survive.
