"Pay staff a living wage and abolish tips" is a great idea, but it doesn't work well in practice.

I work a job without tips and it works fine.

The context here is restaurant waiters and waitresses. Are you a waiter or waitress that works without tips?

Oh, are we staying on context? I thought this had become an off-topic political cliche rant.

Well if you want context there's Australia and much of Europe which runs restaurants without tips and somehow the entire industry hasn't collapsed.
