    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?
