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.
Time to STOP this 'tipping' nonsense and pay people a decent wage. In Australia, if you try to tip, the worker says "I work for a living" and refuses the tip.
