British Columbia passes law prohibiting employers from taking tips

Instead of this halfway measure, they should have just outlawed tipping entirely (like in parts of Europe). Tipping is unfair to customers (who are guilted into subsidizing wages), unfair to servers (some make less than minimum wage while others make way more than you’d expect depending on the clientele of the restaurant and nothing to do with how hard they work), unfair to taxpayers (a LOT of cash tips go undeclared), and unfair to other restaurant staff (who have far more to do with quality of the meal than the server).
