Without exceptions for certain types of workers.
I don't see how it supports the idea of abolishing tipping altogether.
I see tipping as problematic as a means of subsidizing the employer's responsibility to pay their workers a minimum wage.
But once we fix that issue, that doesn't mean that we should abolish the practice of tipping.
You/me/we are already free to either participate or opt out, for the most part, though there is stigma associated with opting out.
But once everyone gets to that higher guaranteed minimum, I do think that stigma should disappear, though I'll probably still tip, barring some other issue.
