CRAP!!!! *Others are predicting the opposite.*
One resto has increased its prices but has stopped tipping. Think about
it: many decent restos suggest 15-20% as a tip. That adds a hulluva lot
to the bill for competent service. Increase the wages and remove the
tipping and you still pay the same amount. If you get lousy service,
complain.
