So, why are we continuing to pay 20% tip when there is already a built in tip in the menu prices?
NOTE: the base wage is also going to go up to $10.98 this fall

Thanks for sharing!
Oh boy!!! I can see the "You must tip us MORE no matter what level of service you get" wait staff people lining up to reply!
I don't tip to help compensate...never have...never will. I tip for good service. I tip more for great service. Of course, that's my choice. What anyone else does is theirs.
