And thus, the tipping debate got fuel to continue...

https://www.foodandwine.com/news/a-salt-bae-lawsuit-provides-a-valuable-reminder-about-tipping

TLDR:
Service charges and other "automatically added" charges (especially for large groups) are not "tips" as tips by definition is a voluntary amount decided and given by the customer.
Restaurants are also not legally binded to use this amount to pay employee wages, nor share it with them as tips above their wages. 🤷
So beware of service charges people.

Thoughts?

      Hahaha so true. Tipping, metric system, education, healthcare..., America does things as if the eastern hemisphere doesn't exist.

      Surprising the court sided with the restaurant. That's harsh 🥲

    Interesting. The tipping system is beyond busted, but that’s not really my problem.

    I imagine if servers work there, they are paid enough to. As long as I don’t have to be responsible for their pay.
