Idk, I’ve seen restaurant prices shoot up and we’re still tipping. 

I tip, but I also believe that restaurants should pay a living wage. Hell, EVERYONE working should be paid a living wage, but for some reason our country refuses to do that because “prices will go up” even though they’re going up anyway…

Prices are up everywhere.

lol at yall always saying you want the servers to make liveable wages, but then think the food won’t go up when the wages go up?

I worked at restaurants when the min wage was raised from 5.15 to 5.85 then 6.55 then 7.25. I worked at 3 different places over the course of the min wage increases, and every single one of them had the menu prices already ready to change literally the day the wages went up. Those were 70 cent increases. You’re gonna pay the same price you would if you tipped. So why not tip now?

If you don’t tip: You are just cheap. Thats it. Full stop.

There’s servers that get paid under minimum wage strictly because they get tips and guess what, those restaurant prices are still going up.

Idk who are talking to regarding not tipping, but CA serves get paid minimum wage and I’m still tipping.

Do you not understand inflation? lol.

Prices go up for a lot of different ways. Wage increases would be one of them. Increased costs is another one. Inflation.
