Perhaps treating wait staff as second hand citizens, many of whom have to live on tips, says the IRS, should instead be paid a fair wage for their work. Don't need b.s. stories about how much somebody I made at tips, I'm talking industry wide wait staff backward calculations of their incomes defined by law.

During this time of severe disruption in the wait staff industry is the best time for change to stop this b.s. tip calculation. The damage, permanent or not is already done.
