Is it really a fight? On who's behalf is this fight happening, and who is fighting for it?
I've never met a service worker who relies on tips that wanted to end the practice. Tips seem to be the entire draw to those types of work in my experience. I've never met a tip worker that was doing it over a wage job they'd rather have, unless it was some type of professional salary type gig like they're going to school to become a nurse or something, and in those cases, they're doing tip work because it enables them to make that happen when no other job really would.
Seems to me like the people fighting for it aren't the people living that way and those fighting are fighting on behalf of people who don't really want their help.
