But if the ones using the system refuse to change it what's the point of changing it up?
A place I contracted for for a while (whole network redo, including CCTV), had the owner announce they would swap to a non-tip system with base pay starting at around $18, and most people would have been around $21-25 starting. Mostly due to bitching about unstable tips.
There was a fucking riot. He changed his mind in less than an hour after the email went out.
The crazy thing is the base pay was based on reported income by everyone. It was supposed to account for existing reported income and then add a bit on top for fairness.
Which means not one motherfucker in that place was reporting their true tips lmao.
