annefood 9yr You'll have to fill me in since I won't be there on Friday! -
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. Previous pricing assumed a work force whose income was supported by tips; if that goes away, a European service-included system is needed . 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! -
