Seriously, there are two things the public can do to end tipping 1) support state laws that require full minimum wage, no tip deductions, for all employees and 2) if you live somewhere that already has it STOP TIPPING. It's a wage issue between employee and employer, the ONLY way that changes is if employees stand up to their employers. They NEED to feel the pain a bit to be motivated to push for a change; when the public makes up their wages with tips they don't have any incentive to change. And that doesn't begin to get into the fact that many prefer the system so they can make far more than an equivalent low-skill job and frequently hide that income from the IRS!

You dont HAVE to tip anyone, and the sooner people start realizing that the sooner we cam start to fix it.
