This is only true for positions paid in tips. (Workers making below minimum wage like waiters/servers)

This is not true for people working jobs at or above minimum wage, like baristas at coffee shops. The vast majority of those places give their employees the tips on top of their wages. Most employees don't put up with tips going to the owners and will let you know they don't get it.

That's the worrying part of this trend. The local coffee shop might still give their employees the tips. But the local chain fast food place? No. I've had subway workers tell me that directly. They said "don't tip me, I don't get any of it" and sonic employees will sometimes tell you the same.
