[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tip what you like but remember you are bailing out the rich private equity firm that owns the restaurant - if his servers don't get tips, he will have to pay them more and that hurts his bottom line. Also, Howard Schultz - the owner of Starbucks - is notoriously cheap. He would not tip so neither should you. [/quote] This! Restaurants have to make up any difference in tips so that wait staff make at least minimum. My BIL owns a restaurant chain in NY state and they never have to make up the difference. His staff make a minimum of $22 an hour and usually much more. They budget 500k to “bridge the gap” but since it isn’t used, it goes back to the restaurant and he and the other owner take lavish vacations each year. People don’t know this is the law. You think a waiter will stick around making $4/hr completely dependent on tips? [/quote]
