Yes the correct and honorable thing would be for the employer to absorb the costs but this is America we’re talking about. We’re currently going through record inflation almost purely because of corporate greed. These companies saw an opportunity to blame their massive price increases on COVID/labor costs/ materials cost even though these are only small factors. Yet year over year they’re increasing profits. I have zero doubt that if they switched away from tipping systems that they would use that to falsely justify price increases.
