Alternately: they could be paid a living wage with menu prices to support these higher wages. This allows for a more consistent (read: reliable) income. While I have not personally worked as a server, I know enough people who have. They have "good nights" and "bad nights."

Another affect of this is that it removes ambiguity regarding which places depend on tips and which don't. This line has been muddied by places haphazardly adding tip prompts to their checkouts.

There's a theme here, and that theme is consistency.

what’s hilarious is people on lemmy who probably have never worked as a server or bartender going on about tipping and restaurants like they know better than the people who work in them

Consider that the comments on this are from the customer side. The increase in places asking for tips and inflation of "suggested" tip percentages hasn't been helping.
