There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.

Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?

this is only really for Hotels (not motels and not long term stay hotels)

Forgive my ignorance but what’s different about motels and long stay hotels?

Topping your housekeeper in the first day or so of a hotel stay will drastically improve the cleanliness of your room going forward.
