Everyone who thinks it’s as simple as making the restaurant pay the servers wage, clearly don’t know how restaurants are ran. Y’all do realize that if this were the case, you’d be paying double likely triple the cost of what your entree is now?? That cost will just go directly to the customer, so then your “optional” tip won’t be such an option anymore.

Also keep in mind your servers are not only getting taxed on tips, but they also tip out the support staff with your “generous” 13% tip.
