Quite right. I stand corrected. There's been a significant raise in server pay. In Massachusetts, one of the most expensive places in the country to live, state law currently says "Tipped employees (meaning those who receive more than $20 a month in tips) may be paid a service rate of $3.00 per hour."
Biiiiiiiiiig difference! That 50 cents per hour makes it soooooo much easier to live on. Don't need tips to live well on 3 bucks an hour, being stiffed by someone who the server has treated well during a U$150 breakfast.
