It should be illegal to voluntarily give your own money to a server as a reward for good service?

  Yeah, if it improves welfare of the wait staff, forcing the employer to pay a living wage. The practice is discriminatory, there's lots of data that shows that the distribution of the tips is highly un-equal. The state already permits things like pooling, so it has the right to restrict tipping entirely. Further, tipped employees are allowed to be paid an absolute pittance well below minimum wage, which doubles down on the impacts of the discriminatory distribution. Could or should are different questions, but you're intentionally reducing the conversation to something much simpler than it really is.

      "Dude" tipping IS complicated. It is the industry treating unfairly its employees and then asks for you to cough up the extra £€¥$ so they save more on salaries, taxes, and pension contributions. If you don't just dismiss all the comments and have think about it then yes it is a big deal.

      Kind of a rude reply. Aside from that, it's hard to read the parent post and come to the conclusion that the situation is simple, unless you're already an expert on the topic.
