One of the main arguments for tipping is that waiters/waitresses don't get paid enough. So tips are essential. Nevermind the fact that currently, by law, they must earn at least minimum wage.

But if the minimum wage gets boosted to $15, this argument goes out the window, right?

It's past time to get rid of this nonsense custom. The customer should have no role in determining how much the employee is paid. Nothing good comes out of it. All it does is:
-Compels the customer to subsidize the company
-Makes it easier to conduct wage theft
-Creates a strange power dynamic between customer and waitress.
-Creates pay inequality due to discrimination
-Forces people to do math

Get rid of tipping. Restaurants just need to raise prices if necessary
