I wholeheartedly agree! Having read some of the horrifyingly low wages some are paid, and a notion of the balance of actual wage to tips of overall income, for me it would seem logical to shift the balance heavily over to a standard higher minimum wage thereby tips being seen as a bonus for quality service. I would also feel less guilty for not tipping when service/food is of a poor quality knowing now that tax is paid on estimated tips.
Am i the only one who thinks this is logical?

Goodnight...Peter
