Speaking as someone who was in the restaurant business and had multiple family members as waitresses, they do *not* want to be paid "a livable wage" because the service industry sucks. Most if not all the waitresses/waiters I know like the tipping system because they get paid way above what others are getting paid. My sister was making more money as a waitress than my aunt who worked in healthcare, lol.

And again, while people say they want to do away with tipping, I promise you don't. Prices will be much higher than the extra % you pay for a tip. I can still get a burger & fries in most diners in my town for less than a meal at fast food chains and of much better quality. Forcing to do away with tipping will result in pricing out of mom & pop diners and we'll eventually only have big corporation chains. Granted, it'll probably happen eventually, anyway, but it's about slowly down the process.
