Once those workers who happen to work in an establishment where tips are paid AREN’T getting tips anymore, they are in for a rude awakening with respect to their now-W2 income taxed and that which they ALWAYS underreported on TIPS.

They got what they wanted. Live with it.

Maybe they should unionize. That’ll teach those pesky small businesses.

I believe most waiters did not want this. Certainly NY waiters are dead set against it. Liberals they may be but suicidal they are not.

Indeed.

That $15.00 an hour will reduce the incentive to tip.

We always knew that waitresses in fast food joints made very little money, and a tip for good service was a way to help them along.

Higher wages will mean higher prices, and the incentive to tip will be gone. Also the incentive to provide good service will be gone.

With poor service, high prices, and bad attitudes, the pleasure of eating out will be gone.

If it’s no longer a pleasure to eat out, why bother?

Brown-Bagging becomes the norm, for those who can find jobs, anyway.

For the rest, there will always be soup kitchens.
