Nice try but this will likely be self defeating. Fewer people willing to work as waiters and a decline in the quality of service equates to fewer customers and less profit.

Allowed or not they’ve been doing this for decades. When I was tending bar in the 90s they split the tips this way: one guy got fired for pocketing some of the money in his tip jar.

Fewer people willing to do a highly unskilled job? Yeah that’s not going to happen.

Happens constantly, I believe it was Dominos who once lobbied the UK to allow more unskilled migirants in because the UK unskilled workforce basically won't work for them. There will still people willing to do it but not at the same scale. You can see this in other labour markets where migrants are the bulk of the workforce because locals refuse to do that work at that price. Lots of people will choose to be unemployed than work in an unskilled job with unfair wages.

That means Dominos would have to pay them a reasonable wage! Such a crazy thought.
