Minimum wages and universal basic income

[panamaniac]

An employees should not feel entitled to tip though if they provide poor service.  The whole point of gratuity is that the employee DOES have the bargaining power.  The server provides an above average experience and they get an above average tip.  I worked in hospitality albeit a long time ago...

I don't think I've ever had service in a restaurant in K-W that I considered "above average".  On the other hand, I've not had many bad service experiences either.  That said, I'm probably a below average tipper - usually 15% on the cost of the food (only), plus a buck or two if they opened a bottle of wine.
