yes, it is actually as simple as abolishing tipping and having employers pay their employees more and employers can subsequently choose to up their prices for compensate. this way, things are actually normalized and not reliant on things of high variance.

It is appropriate to tip based on the pre-discount price of services, food, etc.
Got a nice cut from them but couldn't redeem it

You being a past employer does not make your stance the correct one, nor does my being an employee make mine incorrect.
Now, if you want to give everyone here examples and details as to what your "business" was, how much you paid your "employees", why you didn't pay them a fair wage, and how requiring them to rely on customers to pay them through tips instead of you the "employer" paying them was a sustainable practice and fair to them, then go for it.
The original point you made was that abolishing tips would abolish businesses. It was pointed out that any business that relies on free or grossly underpaid labor is not a good business. As soon as that was pointed out, you immediately jumped to the 'appeal to authority' argument.
My first response was to orioncygnus not you.
orioncygnus wanted to mandate
abolishing tipping and having employers pay their employees more because of what he/she believed was the ridiculous culture of tipping. Tipping is just another form of commission based pay. I don't believe the government should control pricing. If I want to work for $1 a day I want the freedom to do that. I suggested to Orion he/she open his/her own business and run it the way he/she wants instead of telling other people how much or how to pay their employees. It's easy for 50 yard line quarterbacks to have opinions that are out of synch with reality the ultimate example being Marx who didn't work lived off others yet wanted to tell the world how to live with very destructive results. I understand this is an unpopular opinion most people want the government to do everything for them control every outcome but we are losing the very freedoms that attracts the rest of the world to our doorstep. Ben Franklin said Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
For the record, I am not a business owner, nor have I ever been one, and I'm not on my period. However, I do genuinely despise greed and selfishness.
Not sure it's necessarily greed and selfishness, it's more I think about societal norms and at some level just because we're used to it. You probably tip your stylist, maybe you tip at Starbucks. But you probably don't tip at Wendy's, McDonalds or Burger King. Why not? You probably wouldn't tell us it's because you're greedy or selfish.
Societal pressure many years ago prompted people to "tip" the trash collectors and mail deliverers, I don't know anyone who does that anymore.
Tipping is common for restaurant wait staff primarily because they (at least used to) get paid less by employers assuming they would get tips. Beyond that it's hit and miss for generally unexplainable reasons. Tip Starbucks, not McDonalds, tip hair stylist, not the guy that cuts your lawn.
Still, when I get my hair cut I'll tip just like always. Because I'm just used to it.

Thanks. Worked in Tampa.
For anyone reading that and thinking "duh of course it didn't, NY is not mentioned anywhere in the terms", in the past I have used Great Clips coupons outside of the area specified in the terms with success, so to me it is always worth a try (as long as you are ready to pay full price if not accepted).
Although I wasn't able to benefit from it this time, I am still thankful to the OP for having posted this - keep them coming!
