[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted against this in early voting.  I know many servers and they are uniformly opposed.  I’m not going to tell them I know better than they do about their own jobs and own lives.  [/quote]

I know servers, bartenders and 1 owner and they are all opposed. The Front of house staff would rather be tipped than make the same salary they could working retail. People will stop tipping because prices are going to go up. The good servers will not work to work in DC when they could make more $$ in VA or MD. This is a well meaning but misguided effort that will cause harm to the bottom line of many restaurants.[/quote]

+1 my thoughts as well[/quote]

But that hasn’t happened in other places where the tipped wage was eliminated. Customers still tip, and tipped workers are less likely to live in poverty. [/quote]

Not when there is a line clearly reading “service charge” on all tickets [/quote]

And service charges go to the house, not directly to the staff. It’s up to management to decide how to spend that service charge.[/quote]
