I agree....if the waiter is getting $15 an hr, tipping should be outlawed....

bet that is one side of the story the stinking leftist don't think about...tips....I would bet that tips make up a substantial amt of waiters money, a lot of it not taxed, and now, there will be no tips, at least not from me, and all their wages will be taxed...

Found a 2011 WAGE study that stated "In Washington State, where the minimum wage for wait staff is $9.19, the average wage is $13.00 after gratuity".

So if they raise the minimum to $15 a hour then they would be making more, so no tipping necessary!
