I remember my very conservative grandparents getting upset about the prospect of this. They claimed that if servers made a high wage and didn't get tips that it would lessen their quality of work. They also called it "socialism"

Not surprised anyone would be upset. You just can't reason with folks that the effort of work can very much depend on the wage. Someone making minimum wage versus someone making $30 per hour should not be expected to put the same effort in.
