How do you feel about the practice of tipping in some industries and its impact on workers' salaries?

Tipping, while currently a way for underpaid service workers to receive a fairer wage, is ultimately counterintuitive, and subsidizes the businesses that should be paying the workers' wages. It is a kind gesture, but should not be necessary in a just society. Workers and customers alike should be pressuring these companies to pay their workers a living wage. If the company cannot afford to pay their workers a living wage, the company should not be solvent.

I do not believe any worker should be reliant on tips to supplement a lower standard wage. It should be up to the employers to pay them a fair wage regardless of tips.
