They shouldn't request tips at all. Tips only should be provided if a customer feels like the service was above and beyond normal.

That's not true in the US. They have a tipped minimum wage; there, if you're not tipping you're stealing someone's labour.

It is a sucky system, as the buried lede in that article shows:

However, data from the very checkout system that prompted tipping revealed disparities in pay. Neitzel noticed that Black employees were earning less tips than their White counterparts.

But, until it is burned to the ground, that is the system and (in the US) you should not use it to exploit people.

Some areas in the US have tipped minimum wage. Some areas have an actual minimum wage that is paid regardless of tips. Don't accuse others of exploiting people when it is truly the employer backed up by the local state law. Blame your state and do something about it.

Sure, but that's a societal and cultural change. I'm talking about a legal change.

There is a legal solution too. It's called: regulate the minimum wages.

FYI: Denmark doesn't have minimum wage.
Guess what's the difference between minimum salary of McDonalds worker in Denmark vs USA.
Keyword: labor union.
