[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 4295186, member: 25419"] Did the prices go up if you compare total cost (former price+tip)? If so, then the restaurant increased prices exceeding the pay rate of employees. There's a total expenditure from the customer, how it's divided is what matters. Dinner - 50 bucks + 10 dollar tip = 60 bucks. (Employee gets 2 bucks wage+ 10 bucks) Dinner - 62 bucks - no tip. (employee makes 12 bucks per hour, this covers his wage - of course the employee will serve many more dinners than one per hour, so this price increase could cover way more than one hourly rate) *yes I know there are more associated costs with hourly pay, but multiple dinners during the hour more than compensate for this Dinner - 65 bucks - no tip. (employee makes 12 bucks per hour - see above, but add 3 bucks to each dinner) I know there's no way restaurants would use this opportunity to increase prices and blame it on employees.... [/QUOTE]
