That just suggesting they shouldn't need tips to live doesn't stop them from needing tips to live, while patrons continue to support the establishment that isn't paying the workers.

In Canada, tipping is entirely optional, but I still tip well because it's not actually service workers fault that they don't have an uncle Jimmy their dad has convinced to give them unique job opportunities. And people keeping getting meaner.

Yes it would be nice if we didn't live in a system that forces people to look to each other for scraps while others build yachts for their yachts, finding moral excuses to withhold money from the poorest.
