According to my brother, yes. He has to withhold taxes based on total sales. He owns a freaking lunch deli, no one tips there. They have a "tip jar" which apparently collects dust. I used to think "BS" when I saw a tip jar at a drive through coffee place. I remember when I first noticed them and thought "Ok, there's this end? Going to be asked to tip the checker at Wal-Mart?" Now, with the whole tax thing, I'm not so sure.
Personally I think it's nuts they're taxing people on money they might make. Who thought up that system? I honestly wish it work every where like it does in Japan. Employees get paid a reasonable wage and tipping isn't expected or even wanted. But that simply isn't the US system.
