You are being disingenuous by suggesting all service is equal. There is a difference between exceptional customer service and mediocre. Don’t you think servers should be able to be rewarded for going above and beyond?
Obviously the business needs to pay a fair wage but tipping in the service industry allows exceptional service to be rewarded.
I never once said that it is ok to pay servers below minimum wage because they make it up in tips. Using that as your argument for why we shouldn’t tip is a straw man fallacy.
If a place is offering below minimum wage to work for tips, who’s fault is it for working there? I understand that people are many times not in a position to negotiate pay, especially when it’s an industry standard but at some point workers have to stand up for themselves. There is a huge movement here in the US with millennials and gen x refusing to work for poor pay. That is the only way to change the industry.

2.13 is the minimum wage for tipped workers.
And now you’re blaming the exploited for their exploitation.
Why even have a minimum wage when the people with no power at all can just choose not to be exploited and starve?
