    In practice, if you report so little tips you cant hit minimum wage management will assume you are (a) lying to the IRS, (b) providing awful service, or © business is too slow to justify you being there. Any way you look at you probably wont work there much longer.

      And none of those would be considered if no one ever tipped since it wouldn’t be one server but all of them.

        Yeah sure, lay the responsibility on people powerless to change the law themselves in stead of the politicians whose job it is, taking away what little income the victims have in the process! Fucking brilliant! 🙄

          The politicians WONT change the system, so there are really only one option: don’t tip, and let the chips fall where they may. If I don’t go to the restaurant at all, the server gets no tips, and if I go, but don’t tip, the server gets no tips. If I go, but don’t tip, at least I still get the food I want, without having to make it myself. The “tipping problem” is a problem between employees and employers, it’s not my problem to solve.

            So basically what you’re saying is that, rather than your idea being a suggestion to affect reform,all you care about is you not having to pay a little extra. Just pure selfishness poorly disguised as virtue.
