Well, no matter which way you like to cut it, it's still an objectionable practice that has been phased out in many places and quite frankly if the workers in the US are silly enough to allow themselves to be underpaid to begin with and have to rely on tips to supplement their incomes, then they only get what they deserve. If others get it over and above their normal (full) wages then good on them. But I shouldn't see why the customer be made to help pay for workers wages just because the scumbag employers won't pay the minimum wages to them, but would rather pocket the profits and expect you to "feel grateful" about eating in the establishment and fork over more money. I'd rather pay for a dearer meal and know that the workers were being properly compensated for their work than eat out at a place who expected me to supplement someone's wages with extra money add to the bill (food + tip). I'd rather go somewhere else, or cook it myself!!!.
