The Required Practice of Tipping is an Abuse of Employees

In response to the subject of Eric Nelson's article "Utahn's eat,
sip--don't tip," (Page D10, June 12) I can only say that tipping seems
to me an abuse of the employees, and an unethical business practice.
   The problem is tipping is not a requirement, but a social custom.
The custom has encouraged employers to think they don't have to pay their
employees. Why is it that minimum wage does not apply to restaurants?
   Who's really the cheapskate: the customer who doesn't pay or the
employer?
