    Not from Wisconsin but good for them. Modern tipping culture is a plague on our society that enables companies to underpay their workers, perpetuates class disparities, and literally stems from racism & elitism, it shouldn’t exist in the first place.

    Damn man. Minimum wage is still under 8 bucks? No wonder people flee that state (myself included) and don’t look back.

      That isn’t the only state that uses the federal minimum wage, and the federal tipping job minimum is well under $3 + tips.

      Careful where you flee to.

    Sadly, this passing still won’t eliminate tipping, as it should.

      don’t worry. it won’t pass anyway. gerrymandered-af assembly and senate, plus the lobby power of the tavern league. no flippin’ way would this get through the state legislature.
