I would be concerned about having wait staff and other tipped positions be paid a livable minimum wage because it may cause people to stop tipping, which would result in a pay cut. There wouldn’t be the argument “They don’t even make minimum, I need to tip them.”, it would become “They make 22.50 an hour, I don’t need to tip them.”

When I worked as a delivery driver, I did well only because of tips. If I was paid minimum wage and people stopped tipping, I would have been fucked.

If they get paid a livable minimum and tips are still just as generous, that would be a huge win for people that could use it.
