For maybe a month or two, but when the restraints are no longer to hold on to good staff at minimum wage, employers will have to start offering more to get people to work for them.
Yeah -- The goal is not to keep servers, etc. working at minimum wage, it's to eliminate tips in favor of employers paying a livable wage.
I'd rather the menu prices reflect the actual cost of the item, including the service workers' wages, than have to tack on another n% at the end. And, at least back in the before-times for the like, month, I worked as a server, I would've loved to go to work and not worry about "Oh shit, it's the Sunday church crowd" and resign myself to not making any money that shift.
I like your optimism.
