Economists don't like it because it's unfair? Economists?
Everyone loves this idea. Tip workers love it. People who tip love it. People tip with cash when they can just to help tip workers avoid taxes. Tip workers prefer cash so they can get away with not declaring them. Of course the vice president adopted this for political reasons, the proposal by her opponent is just too damn popular not to. Her opponent did so too in case anyone's frothing at the mouth over me saying it.
I just got done watching a horribly made movie called "Jones Plantation". Terrible, terrible movie with a very interesting premise. Watching people argue about how to better pay taxes really drives that premise home for me.
I certainly don’t. And I’m tired of having to think of someone’s wages every time I go out for dinner.
Some people, I would call them “old fashioned”, who do love it, because it gives them some sort of reassurance that the service will be good, did tell me that if I don’t like tipping, I shouldn’t go out. That was a couple years ago. Guess what, I took their advice and now I don’t eat out as much. Same goes for many others in my environment. People are getting fed up of paying $80 just in tips with subpar food.
Honestly, I hope that not eating out becomes a trend. I know those who depend on others subsidizing their labor force with tips won’t take the hint, but I won’t shed a tear for those closing down.

In New York with honest friends who report their tips. They don't like cash. On card, it's automatically documented. With cash, they have to (a) manually enter and (b) deal with distrusting coworkers.
Granted, they work at high-end bars and restaurants. I can imagine this varies regionally.
