Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. Not for the theming, or specifications that are meaningless….. It is just a fun ride.

The word “Brave” from the Merida meet and greet?

Remy’s Ratatouille queue.

That is the problem. This whole debate has revolved around emotions. Thinking you are a better person because you tip higher than others, all while avoiding the discussion of the changing landscape of tipped workers. You are unwilling to entertain the idea that as wages have increased, costs...

Never did I oppose tipping. Go back and re-read. I am suggesting 18% is too high.

It seem you have a lot of hate for leaving $30 on a $300 meal opposed $54. Wonder how you feel about people that don’t tip at all.

25% tips is not regular.

Again, I am not against tipping. The argument has been made that without tips the cost of restaurants will increase, and I am suggesting this is happening now, with the increase in wage and fees. Reducing tips is a balance. I don’t think I should tip on the transaction credit card fee of 2%...

I am sorry, but this is exactly what has happened, are you not following the debate? Instead of getting rid of tips, tipped wage went up, increasing dining expense. With servers making more, it is common knowledge that tipping has been reduced. I also empathized with wait staff with the...

If you have been following my post, which it seems you have not, the claim that is being distorted is a simple one. With the increase in the tipped wage, is it ok to decrease tipping to a lower percent. My first job at 15 years old was washing dishes, and the wait staff I know now, is angry...

Thanks for proving my point with the childish “I know you are but what am I” response.

It seems like in your quest to defend what restaurant servers make, you are perfectly fine offending me with what I make.

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...
