Not to mention how many companies that pay payroll taxes like half the Social Security, Medicare & ...,
will switch to tips based payment.
I leave a tip to hotel maids @ $10 per night, the day I check out.
I believe hotels will now pay less for maid service so maids may have to now beg for tips to make up the loss of salary and none of that will apply to SS, Medicare or ...
Or hotels may now have a tip line on the checkout invoice to monitor those tips. Why? So they can determine how much salary to reduce and then tell those employees that they'll pay less in income tax but still get the same amount of take home pay.

Is this confusing?
