> SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF/99.7 Now) – It’s a question many of us ask when we go out to a restaurant. β€œHow much should I tip?” Whether your service is good or bad, San Francisco Restaurant workers want to implement a 25% standard tip onto your bill for you. Is this fair?

Don't let Tim see this.

But I'm curious about the rationale for a boost. Did it suddenly get
HARDER to carry food from kitchens to tables? Has the price of
restaurant meals dropped precipitously, so that 18% to 20% of the tab
is now insubstantial?

Why not just shift the 3.5% "health care" surcharge to the waitrons'
pockets instead of letting it flow to the restaurants' bottom line?
