A great bartender I know just told me he is extremely busy and makes about 100 dollars per hour in tips. How do you think these 2 would react if they were told they were now going to make 15 an hour but they would no longer get any tips ?
Those two "great severs(sic) and bartenders" probably would not be happy. But as you point out, not all servers and bartenders make that level of tips. Those who do not may welcome a more consistent and reliable income.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
