Tipping doesn't hurt the workers, price obfuscation always benefits the seller at the expense of the buyer.

(I think you have parent's assessment backwards, but):
This exactly. When the minimum wage was created in the 30s, tipped workers were exempt if they could amass an identical wage from tips, a system some states still use. This is nothing more than business owners offsetting the cost of labor onto the generosity of customers.
