Why we still allow restaurants to under pay their employees and make the customers foot their salary is so far beyond me
Because it's legal. It will never change unless the government steps in and intervenes.
Or if the goverment stops intervening with unions.
In Canada, we play this game where we complain that all employees (aside from "contract workers" in gig work) make minimum wage and don't live off of tips like our American counterparts, then someone complains that minimum wage still isn't livable so tips are still important, then someone retorts that this only means everyone in minimum wage needs tipping or nobody needs tipping, which usually ends up in a lot of poop being slinged around until you get guilted into tipping before receiving any service.
This is what I tell people I'm with when they ask if I'm going to tip.
