‘It’s Only Fair’: Residents Vow to Stop Tipping in Democrat-Run Seattle Due to Minimum Wage Hike

Residents in Seattle, Washington, plan to stop tipping as a minimum wage hike in the Democrat-run city looms.
The city’s minimum wage is supposed to go from $19.97 to $20.76 an hour on January 1, the Daily Mail reported on Friday.
Tipping workers on top of the approaching hourly rate hike does not appear to be a popular idea with some residents who have said they will no longer be shelling out the extra money for workers.
The Mail article continued:
One user who shared a Reddit post on the wage hike, which has picked up steam in the local area, said: ‘With Seattle’s new minimum wage going into effect really soon, most food industry workers are finally reaching a level playing field.
‘As a result, I’ll no longer be tipping more than 5-10%. And I’m ONLY doing that if service is EXCEPTIONAL. It’s only fair—hard work deserves fair pay across all industries.
‘Any instance where I am ordering busing my own table, getting my own utensils, etc warrants $0. I also am not tipping at coffee shops anymore.’

It’s a shame that they don’t recognize this is what most of them voted for.

My wife and I have really cut-back on eating-out. With inflation, its hard to justify going to an average restaurant where the bill is $70 per person, and their payment screens then give tip options of 20% / 25% / 30%
