To add on to what others are saying, I have always hated the argument that some business owners counter with by saying something along the lines of, "Without tips, we would have to raise the prices of our service." Especially recently, I have noticed that many (more like all) businesses have raised their prices anyway, and I do not believe it's solely due to inflation and supply side issues. Not one bit; absolute unfettered greed. I think many business owners do not realize the reality of owning a business -- not all of them can and should survive. If you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage, then have fun with your Chapter 7 or 11 Bankruptcy.
