    Banning tipping in restaurants implies that servers would need to be paid a fair wage without needing tips to make up for a lack of wages. Menu prices would incorporate those costs. Tipping in restaurants is the most invasive which is why I chose restaurants specifically.

      So instead of banning tipping you mean removing minimum wage exceptions for tipping.

      Fwiw a lot of restaurants worldwide are starting to include an obnoxious 12+% “service charge” that can be “removed” if you have a complaint. Basically, enforced tipping that wouldn’t be changed by your “ban tipping” plan.

      I definitely agree hard with more emphasis on removal of after-the-listed-price fees

        Yes, ban minimum wage exceptions and service charges. Also I think taxes should be included on the prices of grocery store items.

        you are correct. “ban tipping” is not an actionable platform and leaves too many variables up for abuse.
