That is the frustrating part. The employers want to continue to pay their servers unlivable wages and force the customer to pay the rest. But a lot of the employees don't want tipping to go away because they make more than federal minimum wage or even popular proposed livable wages like $15/hr or $20/hr.

So now customers are the only ones who want tipping to go away.
