I’m still feeling bitter and a fast food place last night asked me to tip, so it got me thinking that maybe this is the time to push out tipping culture. If the country wants the party of “fuck you, I got mine”, then fight your own battles for your wage.

Legally, if they don’t make minimum wage through tips then the employer has to make up the difference (in practice this likely doesn’t happen). Maybe it will make them care more about the minimum wage if it affects them.
