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? http://www.sfbg.com/politics/2011/09/22/sf-restaurants-cheat-health-care

Is this fair? I thought they wanted 500% May be time to make tipping a thing of the past. Doing so might even make the government more money.

I thought it was great when I was in Europe and the menu showed actual prices, tax and tip included.

There doesn't seem to be any supporting evidence for the claim.

Whenever we go to the store, we ask our daughter if she needs anything. A pony. Well, it's 15 years later, and still no pony. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA dabel@sonic.net
