Obviously this would be an absurd thing to try and police. You may as well try to make it illegal for people to give money to each other. You would see insane interpretations of this sort of ban, like "I can't pay my teen an allowance because that counts as a tip, but I also cannot employ them and pay them as an employee because they are underage, so I guess they don't get an allowance I would like to see it made illegal to pay someone lower with the expectation that tips will bring up their income to make up the difference And at the same time I would like to make it illegal for companies to automatically add an expected gratuity to your bill, and illegal for them to insert a tip solicitation into payment processes No more "how much would you like to tip" screens on checkout
