[quote=Anonymous]Why do servers oppose it? If it's because they like being tipped in cash so they don't have to pay taxes on it, and are worried that customers won't tip as much if they know the servers are making regular minimum wage, and therefore that they will have to declare more of their income on their tax returns--well, too bad, so sad. If it's that restaurant prices will increase--well, they should. The cost of a meal should include the cost of paying restaurant employees a decent wage. I'd rather pay more for the meal and not tip, or only tip for really outstanding service. Restaurants in other countries operate this way--it's not as though it's totally unheard of. And all of those restaurants in countries where tipping is not the norm do not have terrible service. Some do, some don't, just like American restaurants. [/quote]
