If this government decides to do anything it will 100% be in favour of the employer and not the servers. But odds are this government will do nothing to regulate tips because the lack of rules now already allows employers to screw the employees.

They might even do a split minimum wage, letting places pay servers less in exchange for the tips.
I am sure they would LOVE to do that.
How about getting rid of tipping? We could just have employers pay a fair wage.
Tipping needs to be banned, if people won’t wait tables for minimum wage then they need to increase the wage
Furthermore, they said if people don't tip on a bill, the server is responsible for paying the percentage of the tip that goes to the rest of the staff.
That's just plain wrong. And if it's not illegal already (theft), then it should be.
Ya, I agree that's bullshit and theft.
I don't understand this. If the table leaves a 0% tip there's nothing to split among the staff. How can the server owe anyone anything?
At some places wait staff need to "tip out" to share tips with kitchen staff, etc. This usually works by putting aside (for example) 10% of sales for back of house and the waiter/ress gets to keep the remainder. In this example, any time they are tipped less than 10%, they have to top it up from their own tips. If they were tipped 10% on a bill, all that tip would go to back of house and they wouldn't get anything.
Beats me. As far as I can tell, everyone except the server is tipped out as if there were mandatory tipping.
