Fascinating how America’s response to people being sick of having to tip on everything, tips being little more than a tax on generosity, was to make this most hated form of remuneration even more advantageous.

Since this was passed I just decided to reduce my standard tips from 20% back down to 15%. Figure it works itself out that way.

Agreed 100%. I will enjoy the creative financial engineering that likely comes with this policy, as we attempt to classify more and more things as gratuity, to escape the reach of the IRS.

That's because the business benefits from it the most.
