Yes, COLA is around 2% a year, but in recent years, minimum wage and tipped wage have surpassed that. You can argue the wage was stale, and justify the increase. Either way, I am sure I speak for a lot of people when I say 18-20% on top of an expensive dining bill can be hard to provide. I...

It was a simple theory that questioned as wages has increased over the last few years, should we reconsider the tip amount because some of that increase has been passed on to the consumer as higher food prices and included credit card fees.

You have to include the Tip credit. From you own reference: New York State law allows employers in the hospitality industry to satisfy the minimum wage by combining a “cash wage” paid by the employer with a credit or allowance for tips that the employee receives from customers. For example...

Suggesting that restaurant workers, that have had an average increase of over 60% in tipped wages over the years, are getting less because of a 8% tip reduction is poor math. Restaurant staff may feel the second and third order effects of this with less hours, and less people dining, but...

This post is too uneducated to comprehend. I am not sure your point. There was a fight for higher minimum wage, which included raises on tipped wages (which has almost doubled in the last 10 years). They receive a higher wage now, which is now passed on to the patrons as higher food cost...

I tipped 18% 10 years ago. Since then, the tipped wage has almost doubled. Should we still be tipping 18% or less?

No, just the opposite. I am questioning the reasonable tipping amount with the increase of the tipped wage.

You said "It’s customary in this country” (not just NY) when I was questioning still tipping at the 18-20% range when wages have increased for tipped workers so much in the last few years. You have to consider now: Automatic credit card fees on every transaction are now part of the bill...

In NY tipped wage has also gone up to $15 an hour, and a teachers assistant is $16 an hour. Explain to me why I should be tipping more than 10% again, at least in NY?

With the increase in minimum wage, is over 10% still expected? Increased minimum wage, increased in overall dining, and I am still expected to tip over 18%. I am sorry, not being scrooge, but shouldn’t tipping go down with the increase in wage?

Where is everybody? I took one look at this, and went to bed. That was 2 days ago. Sadly, I have no idea. But I will guess - A play area?

If all that comes out of this is a quite lift hill, I’ll declare victory.

Hanging lights, with blue tint - Rockin’ Rollercoaster queue, possibly a reflection?

Sure, why not resort hop. I think there are now more hotels than attractions.

I am sorry, I still just find the muppets in rockin’ rollercoaster, even with adults themes, to be very juvenile.

I am just genuinely curious, and then I will drop this. Do you really think (or want) the ride structure is going to change?

I am not saying I hate the muppets, but I do hate the muppets in this context. Ms. Piggy, and hearing "wocka wocka wocka!", is going to be very annoying before getting on a coaster.

What? Are you suggesting Rockin Roller Coaster, being themed to muppets, is going to lose the launch?

I am sorry, what is your argument? That there are health and warnings to advise families so that makes it family friendly? A coaster that does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds with 3 inversions is not something every family with pre-teen children can ride. I wonder how many kids are going to want to ride...

Muppets may be family friendly, but the coaster is not.
