When there is no longer a tipped minimum wage and all employees receive the same minimum wage then I will reconsider tipping.

To clarify, the server receives at least $13 per hour, even if they receive no tips. The $13 is the minimum wage, and if the server receives no tips, the restaurant is required to make up the difference, but the server still receives $13 per hour. The reason for the $3.02 difference is that, if the server receives at least $3.02 per hour in tips, the restaurant does not need to make up the difference.
