This is one I have been struggling with. I tend to use 20% as my starting point in tipping, but why should I tip when the server is making a “living wage?” Aside from the fact my meal is probably costing more, with a starting point of $15 per hour, add tips, these servers are making extremely good money.

Most of the restaurants that I patronize, I'm a "regular" customer. BBQ joints and diners, mostly. I tip well(30, 40 50%), because I know the waitresses, like them, and see them regularly.

And, because bacon, eggs and coffee comes to 4 bucks and I'm not going to insult someone with a 60c (15%) tip.

I suppose if I lived in the city and was shelling out $100 for a meal, I'd tip differently.

That’s why I’m worried that Minnesota will go to a $15 min wage. My income as a server would go down.
