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

It’s not built in. Is it a mandate that all old people start complaining about the price of things? Did you not plan correctly? You want to go out, have someone wait on you and not tip them for doing that? That’s not how life works. You get what you pay for. They have plenty of places for you to eat where you don’t have a server to tip. Go there and stop griping about tipping. The fact you think 13 dollars an hour is enough to live on makes me very curious about your age and where you came from. Jeez. 30 dollars an hour isn’t enough to live on in this time.
