[quote=Anonymous]Here's what people are missing from the OP: Menu prices WILL go up because of the wage increase. Yes, up from the current prices which are already up from a few years ago due to inflation. If my burger used to cost $15 and now costs $17 due to higher labor costs (and workers are seeing a real increase in their paycheck), it really does not make sense for me to tip 20% *on the already higher price* to compensate the worker. Add in the practice of charging a service fee (also premised on increased labor costs) while continuing to encourage tipping, and it's just unclear to me what a tip is for other than to compensate SOME workers for service that is above and beyond typical performance [/quote]
