Agree

No, many servers prefer the current system because they earn far more than a fixed wage.

Disagree

Yes, the $2.13 subminimum wage invites wage theft and forces staff to tolerate harassment.

While Republicans may support enforcement against wage theft, they generally oppose eliminating the $2.13 tipped cash wage via federal mandate; the harassment/wage-theft framing is more associated with Democratic-led pushes to end the subminimum wage.

Strongly disagree

Yes, relying on customers to pay staff wages is exploitative and outdated.

Framing tipping as “exploitative and outdated” aligns more with progressive labor critiques; Republicans more often defend tipping as a market-based system and oppose mandates to restructure compensation.
