I would bet the wait staff at the establishments mentioned could care less what their base pay as it is virtually dwarfed by the tips the make/earn.
What ever their base pay is has no effect on the amount I tip. It is based on the service provided.....I am a very generous tipper for those who earn it.
For the one's who do not they get much less accordingly. These are the folks who are more apt to be affected by a reduction in base pay. The better establishments usually weed out these types as they expect customer satisfaction.
Has there ever really been a satisfactory pay level for this industry?
A personal decision type issue of concern for some....probably not the servers though!
