Seriously? Okay, I'm not a big supporter of wage rate increases, and I've never lived in the US, but I know the cost of living in SFO is extraordinary.

The average monthly price of an apartment lease in San Francisco is $2,734.

That's 65 hours, per week, of minimum wage, without adding in tax.

There are good reasons not to tip well, and this is not one of them.
