PatriciaDuffy 9yr This issue is complicated and culture bending. If tipped employees' salaries are raised, restaurant owners do need to raise prices or perhaps fold; the economic model has changed.

Perhaps least attractive to servers in high end restaurants whose tips exceed a minimum wage hike? Apologies for being a bs nerd but I ache for the restaurant owners on this topic! -
