Although it can benefit workers, the employer can hire better, lower the wages of the tipped employees, and make rules for the tips. Yes, I guess the customers are less reluctant to spend the money though.

IMO, California's tipping law is the ideal: None of the "offset minimum wage with tips" tomfoolery, if tipping pools exist they must only be shared with employees and be a written policy explained at time of employment.

In that context, I like tipping. I tip well, which gets me better service at places I go often.

hmmm... I looked and you are right. california requires minimum wage and tips do not count against that.

I can see why the doordash tipping fiasco was so dire.
