Yes. When evaluating public opinion, we need to take into account that people who are comfortable with the hustle can make a lot from tips in certain jobs, and these people seem to be the vocal ones about keeping tipping. There is a common accusation that it's business owners who like tipping because it allows them to keep wages lower. My impression from hearing owners themselves about it is that they also would generally prefer to eliminate tipping. I'd like to hear of any business owner who keeps a tipping system over the objection of the employees.
