[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have to tip out two food runners, two bartenders and two bussers from your tip. The percentage is ca 7-7.5%.
Do 15% if you must or better, stay home. The reason we have so many workers is that we are busy. But if everyone leaves measly 10%, busy doesn't mean we make money. 
Don't think that restaurants are making a bank either. Americans are used to eating out whenever they feel like it and now they have to think before they go out. Well, so does a restaurant worker; all services and entertainment is up.
We still have no benefits like retirement or health. And this increase doesn't even start to make up years of wage theft and not paying the minimum required by law.
You can't pay less than the menu price, but you can take your frustration out on the server.
Whatever was done to us before, should have never happened. I have several zeros in my SS statement even though I worked full time. 
Also, if you ever lose your fancy job, you can always come to us as we take people without any experience.
Please stay home. Just like anything else that goes up, you buy less of it or stop buying at all. You don't try to find a way to pay less by taking it out of workers' pay.
There are owners already doing it, believe me.

Raise the menu prices.
