[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One can only hope that the council repeals this initiative again. [/quote] Will not happen. What would be smart is for DC restaurants to organize, not in opposition to yet another enormously popular initiative to end the tipped wage, but to create an industry standard around service charges. Restaurants can decide on their own how much to charge and also how much to pay their employees (assuming they meet minimum wage requirements). But the industry should have a best practices for what service charges cover and then clearly communicate it. Not this weird situation now where some use it to pay staff more, some use it to cover ne edits or rising overhead costs, and some just pocket it. If a restaurant charges a 20% service charge and doesn’t spend it on staff, I personally think customers are justified in not tipping and forcing the restaurant to compensate employees.[/quote]
