I mean, "require businesses to pay their employees minimum wage" is really not too big an ask in most countries.

Edit: to give you credit, I think that may have been your point. I lost track of context in the thread.

It's hard to ban people giving money to people.

But you can require that all posted prices include all taxes, fees, and expected gratuities; AND that the price on the bill include all taxes, fees, and expected gratuities.

Basically, just push the tip into the noise and require that the posted price be the sum of all the hidden fees.

It's not some impossible goal. Most of the world does not have America's crazy tipping culture.

I would say tipping is decreasing in the UK. It's pretty normal not to tip in restaurants now because the pandemic changed payment methods.

Before 10% was the standard (only if you pay after eating though).
