When is a tip not a tip? VERY good question. It would seem that waiters in San Francisco want a raise. They are pushing for a 25% mandatory tip to be placed on your restaurant bill. It will no longer be a reward for good service... but a given, an automatic gratuity.
Understand, they already make $9.92/hour as minimum wage. Restaurants are tacking on a health care surcharge at about 2% of the bill. As it stands... waiters only have to report 15% to the IRS, even if they make more then that.
Think about that. One table, one check of $50, they will make $12.50 in a tip. Are they wroth $22.42/hour?
Now increase the number of tables to 4. Is a waiter worth $59.92 per hour?
Would you pay a mandatory 25% tip in a restaurant?
