You would wreck lives, but if you ditched tipping all together and just gave $20/hr for waiters, you would quickly see 80% or more of waiters leaving those jobs. You would just as quickly see them refilled since $20 an hour is alot for starting pay for an unskilled position.
That would actually be fair, even if it ruins lives because people currently are getting 3x that much and hour and living on it (not even saving!!).
Tipping by the general public (non rich americans) is a crime and totally wrong. If you are wealthy and make more in interest than people do working full time? Tip!! Freaking tip. You have the money, make peoples days a bit better and tip them.
But if you are struggling, living paycheck to paycheck, in debt, have unending student loans and are a step away from living on the streets because rent is so high? You should not be expected to tip $5+ if you eat out somewhere, that is just crazy.
Tipping is so screwed up in this country.
