Forget 'No Tax on Tips.' How About No Tips?
Briefly

Trump's proposal to eliminate taxes on tips may create an illusion that tips are entirely voluntary. This could lead to increased pressure on customers to tip more, altering the landscape of service industry compensation.
The suggestion that tips should not be taxed romanticizes a practice that many have come to view as compulsory rather than purely voluntary, undermining the original intent of tipping.
If tips are completely untaxed, patrons may feel encouraged to pay larger sums, perpetuating the idea that tipping is expected rather than being a discretionary practice contingent on service quality.
There’s a troubling misconception that tips are a bonus for good service, yet, in many scenarios, they are not truly optional but a requisite, shaping customer behavior and business practices.
