Never had an owner, or even a manager, that knew what kind of tips I made either, so what's the difference?

That was YEARS ago, dude. I don't wait tables anymore

But yes, you are supposed to, and yes, I did. How accurately did I do so? I don't remember, but at least I paid some.

But if you're gonna go there, what about day laborers, or babysitters, or kids who mow lawns, or people who sell shit on Ebay, do they pay taxes?

We dont really have 'day laborers', and students dont have to pay tax on earnings in Canada.

'slice's point is that the customer tipping variable is a better incentive/management method than the salaried staff chasing around the hourly employees.
