The problem is - restaurants in most parts of the states cannot reliably do that. They’re going to see a higher price and they’re probably walking out soon after. Or worse - they stay and leave a shit review because they set their expectations at a higher bar of food quality than was provided.

If we could unilaterally remove exemptions for tipped wages, I’d see the possibility of it becoming much more common.

Most restaurants in America as they exist now should not exist. We're essentially all subsidizing low quality, frozen food.

So these people are willing to tip for naff food but not pay more to begin with?
