> You’re not legally obligated to tip so I’m not sure how it would be abolished.

You legally require it be removed from receipts and PoS systems, and mandate that all tips be taken by the venue rather than going to the workers (or at minimum be distributed evenly between all workers).

A decade or so ago, there was some talk of it eventually being banned by he Supreme Court due to it being de-facto racial discrimination in pay.

Sure, you can always slip them something under the table, but right now it's mostly an official, sanctioned part of their pay.
