Why businesses love it when you tip their workers

From KERA's Think KERA
The “Big, Beautiful Bill” promised no tax on tips, but that might actually keep service-industry wages lower. Eyal Press is a contributing writer for The New Yorker, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why restaurant owners will benefit most from eliminating income taxes on tips, why the minimum wage for restaurant workers is so incredibly low and the powerful lobby that is pushing this issue. His article is “Check Your Bill.”
