[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I would love to see happen to the restaurant world (if only). No more tipping. Employers can offer a salary. If they can’t hire anyone, they need to raise the salary. If that means raising prices, then consumers can see that up front and decide whether to pay the price. No one can cheap out by not tipping and no one has to play the guessing game as to whether the server/hostess/to go person is making a reasonable wage.

If the price is raised too high, customers will not pay. Restaurants will then have to determine whether to cut profits elsewhere or determine they do not have a profitable business model. The restaurants meant to survive will, the rest will close.

The end. [/quote]

It took 15 pages for someone to finally say it loud and clear. You make much sense.

Well, something like this will happen in DC over the next few years—DC is raising its minimum wage for tipped workers to match the DC minimum wage.  Restaurants are likely to respond by increasing prices and adding service charges to cover the increased cost.  Does this mean we don’t need to tip at all in DC anymore, because of the service charges and higher wages?
