There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.

Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?

    this is only really for Hotels (not motels and not long term stay hotels)

    Forgive my ignorance but what’s different about motels and long stay hotels?

      Motels “housekeeping” may or may not exist; bring a blacklight if you don’t want to sleep. Long stay hotels require you request housekeeping during your stay (if under one month), and generally only refresh when you check out. Hotels provide daily turndown service including fresh sheets, towels, and consumables (soap, tissues, toilet paper, mints, etc.)
