Spin Off: If minimum wage goes up will you tip less than 20%? ( if you do now)

restaurant workers make $7.25 an hour today.
Dept of Labor minimum wage language
If minimum wage went into the $10 range would you still tip 20%?
anyone who says tipped employees only make $2.13 needs to click the link and become educated.

I tip based off performance. If it's ok I tip 20%. If it's really good I'll go 30+ but if it's shitty I won't tip at all no matter how big the bill is

A lot of waiters or waitresses make like 2.10 an hour plus tips. Not minimum wage. The cooks and other staff make minimum and sometimes take a cut of the tips. This may be different in some very high end establishments.
As a customer, makes no difference to me. I tip around 20 percent depending on the quality of the food and the service. However, I do not tip if either suck.

My tips will go drastically decrease because my expenses will go up across the board without an increase in my revenue resulting in less expendable income in my monthly budget.

So the people who say they make 2.13 plus tips are lying?

Im interested to see the outcome a higher minimum wage has on tipping. A higher minimum wage means only higher skilled workers will be hired, meaning the quality of our service at restaurants should be expected to increase, resulting in higher tips. However, a higher minimum wage could also result in price increases at cheaper restaurants causing some people to tip less. Interesting.

Waiters never made that 2.15 people prayed you'd believe. Either they were too dumb to know it, or they assumed the people they told were.
Fwiw, I always tip 20% and probably always will. It's just easier.

It depends on the increase in the food cost.. While the sever is guaranteed minimum wage, the consumer is going to pay for it, whether it be tips or food cost.
Posted on 3/13/14 at 9:27 pm to Mr.Perfect
Yea I'm not a cheap bastard, and understand that if I can't tip at least 20% I shouldn't bother eating at that restaurant/bar.

I probably would but eating out would become a once in a while thing at that point. I'm a good cook so I got my alternative.

Probably so. Are you suggesting we should tip more?
Posted on 3/13/14 at 9:47 pm to Mr.Perfect
Are food prices going up 20%? Why would I tip less?
Posted on 3/13/14 at 9:52 pm to Mr.Perfect
I would never change my tipping %. If min wage went to $30 per hour, the % would still be the same. Inflation will adjust according to the min wage. So food cost x % will always be the same.
It's a trap question for dummies that tip from emotion.

Servers already make $10 on the clock here. I've been debating tipping less, but I've still been doing 20%.

That's nothing. Most servers only work 3-5 hours per shift, and the job responsibilities are still very taxing on a persons body. It's not an easy job. Not many servers would be willing to work 40 hours a week for 7.25/hour, or even 10 per hour. Which would result in a lot of restaurants shutting down.

If people started tipping less, the employers would have to pay the difference. Then the cost of the food you eat would go up. They would have to make up the difference some way. The ones that wouldn't could be facing bankruptcy shortly after.
If a person doesn't have money to tip. Then they shouldn't go to full service restaurants. Or maybe they should make their own food
Posted on 3/13/14 at 10:33 pm to Mr.Perfect
Meh. Probably not. Just because I'm in the habit of what I normally tip.

Most nice places don't give minimum wage... They are based off tips.
Both restaurant jobs I've had paid less than minimum wage.
