Tipping is already enshrined into law. It's not "nanny state intervention" to revisit laws that are now being usedin a manner that's completely different from the spirit in which they were first written. Consumers feel tricked or pressured into tipping, despite having little to no understanding around who is receiving those tips and why. This makes this a consumer protection situation. If that lack of clarity extends to the workers, then it also becomes a worker protection situation. The government went down this path when it decided to encourage special treatment for tipped workers. So we need to either remove this special treatment, or update the laws to reflect modern reality.
