The problem with this is that tipping isn't just limited to the food industry. I, too, am in the service industry and the salon that I previously worked at had such a shitty system of how they paid us, that I greatly relied on my tips. Think about all the employees that get tipped that aren't in the food industry. Hotel workers, casino workers, barbers and hairdressers, cart pushers and baggers at the grocery store ( I know - it's now no longer customary to tip, but I still do when the cart pushers help me with heavy items). The list goes on.
Waiters and waitresses aren't the only people affected.
