If the servers don't get tips anymore, they might simply strike for a living wage. The current system just makes servers even more dependent with every single tip that replaces what should be a wage. Somethings gotta give, it's not the workers, and the bosses wont budge without pressure, so even if it's hard, it might be the only way something really changes for the better.

They aren't going to strike from this event. Wait staff don't have insurance or savings. Restaurant owners can't afford to pay living wages with benefits; the margins are razor-thin as-is.

Have you never heard of strike funds? If service workers can't even pay rent they're going to strike and walk out, breeding a crisis that will make tipping culture untenable.

Europeans coming to America and not tipping isn't going to breed a crisis, it's going to breed animosity towards Europeans from the service workers.
