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

Most people have no idea what the term Tip even means….
To Insure Prompt service
I tip based on the quality of the service (not the food) however a good server will check the food before bringing it out to make sure it is correct.
If you can not afford to leave a decent tip (20%) then stay home and eat.
