Yea moron, that has been tried here several times in the US, and failed miserably.  Restaurants barely make enough to stay open, let alone pay a server (Who spend most of the shift standing around waiting for food, or complaining about tips) a full wage.  Even on a bad night, a server will make far more than a busboy, dishwasher, cook, hostess.  The majority of people, I'm talking 95% tip well. Foreigners get a pass because in other countries, like it probably should be here, the server's fees are paid for in the cost of the meal  Run a restaurant here in the US and get back to me on that logic.
