And/or the restaurants will claim prices are up to pay servers , and pocket more profit while sticking it to the employees.
Unless the proposal is the ensure all employees in service industries make less overall , which seems weird for one of the few industries unskilled (relatively) and younger workers can make good money

I'm the sucker who tips well everywhere prompted out of some weird social pressure. I'd be way better off financially if tipping was eliminated and prices rose, because I tip above average, effectively subsidizing people who are crappy tippers.
I'd also prefer it from a social point of view. I find tipping uncomfortable as it creates a weird social hierarchy that I don't like. I also think it would be better for people to have stable incomes vs having them vary with tips.
I don't think it will ever be eliminated but wish it would.
