  • Ban tipping as a substitute for min wage.
  • Ban tipping companies,
  • Allow tipping people.

Until then, tip people with cash.

Generally agree, but if you use an app that only exists because of tipping being expected like food devliery apps, then if you don’t put down a tip then no one is going to pick up your order. All they will see is a terrible pay for an order.

At that point it’s not a tip it’s a delivery charge… just call it what it is.

But they won’t because then they’d have to pay tax… Although the taxman is going to notice sooner or later anyway…
