And here's another good argument against tipping.
Tipping is income "under the table", and avoids
income tax.

Better for the employer to pay it, and everything
be above board. More honest that way, and no
problems with defrauding the government.



No statement for or against tipping and I don't deny that all of tips aren't
reported but a significant percentage is.



IIRC, the IRS has developed standard estimates of how much 'tip'
income people in different jobs typically get. If you don't report
something in the ballpark, you'd better have plenty of documentation.
(Of course, this was several years ago so my memory may be fuzzy.)
