    • Ban tipping as a substitute for min wage.
    • Ban tipping companies,
    • Allow tipping people.

    Until then, tip people with cash.

      Good luck with the logistics of that. Just ban tipping. It’s bad for business, bad for individuals (in the long run), and a highly discriminatory practice.

      Generally agree, but if you use an app that only exists because of tipping being expected like food devliery apps, then if you don’t put down a tip then no one is going to pick up your order. All they will see is a terrible pay for an order.
