At 20% the tip would be $7.50 making their wage $22.50 and that assumes you are there for the entire hour. This intuitively seems highly to me an I believe will hurt these establishments. Maybe I’m wrong.
If servers made salary of $ 15 one should reevaluate tip levels. No idea to what at the moment but a lesser percentage would probably make sense.
