Restaurant workers quit at record rate

I don't know if there's been case law behind it, and I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to try it, but I feel like there's a strong argument to be made that tips are gifts from the consumer to the wait staff.

That said, gifts totaling under $15,000 are non-taxable.

Nope. Tips are their own, special thing described in tax law.

I’m not saying it’s not the IRS’s position, it certainly is, but there is a pretty clear argument to be made that the IRS is wrong.
