I will stop tipping if the costs of my restaurant meal rises due to higher minimum wages. Period.
When someone takes a job where tipping is expected, not only do I realize that they have a true incentive to give good service, I pay attention to how well they serve, and I reward them accordingly. There will be a lack of incentive for me to do that if their wage represents full value for that job.
I guarantee that if other people behave as I know I will in this respect, restaurant servers will find their take has gone down.
The ol’ “Golden Rule”?
You and I are SO old-fashioned!
