I get the $3 per shift thing is bullshite,


If it allows them 1 free meal per shift why? It would be hard pressed to get that many calories for $3 outside of rice and beans with no seasoning.

but I don't know if I'm on board with $25/hour base rate.


If the establishment can pay that and make a profit while keeping prices stable, great. If that causes the prices to Jack up, people will stop going.

If that's the base hourly rate, then are we doing away with tipping? I'm willing to consider that trade.


Honest question, why does the amount someone makes dictate whether you tip or not?

Is this a serious question? The social contract between restaurants and customers is that restaurants pay less than living wage to their servers and customers contribute the majority of the server's wages through gratuity. If the restaurant owner breaks that social contract and pays their workers a decent hourly wage, then it is no longer on me to tip because the server's wages are included in my now higher food and drink prices.
