What we really need is to change culture so that it's considered totally unacceptable for a business to pay service workers far below minimum wage, and rely on customers to make up the difference individually.

I don’t know what you mean by tip credit, but in states where there there is only one minimum wage, regardless of tips, the people still expect to be tipped.
