alt Hacker NewsDon't forget to reduce your tips by the percentage they were previously being taxed, since it is all charity anyway.
Hopefully this becomes another straw that will eventually break the camels back and we get rid of tipping all together. Every restaurant in the world does not need tips to survive, except for the ones in the US.

Tips subsidize profits, plain and simple. But, America runs on poverty, so this is in line with the broader socioeconomic strategy.

I've already been doing that because I tip with cash. Credit card tip is self-contradictory.
This is going to expand tipping dramatically. I don't understand how you could have any optimism that tipping will go away after this is passed.
Businesses are going to work hard to blur the line between a tip and a required payment so that they can call their income a tip while customers think they're obligated to pay it.
