I absolutely loathe this #tipping culture. Everyone has a cap in hand. (or their hand out) Service does not improve. When you do tip above and beyond, 50% - not a word of thanks.

#initiative82 is going to smother DC Restaurant Week.
#initiative82 #restaurantweek #i82
Not to worry: Restaurants have been implementing "service fee" a day after #i82 passed:
According to the DC Council’s Legislative Information System, #Initiative82 was transmitted to Congress on January 10 and is projected to become law March 8, 2023.
I don't want to subsidise your poor life choices!

100% increase in labour cost that will be incurred in less than 2yrs. That's a HUGE financial burden for many restaurants. (You, the customer will have to absorb this cost. Only to be forced to tip 20% on top.) #i82 #initiative82 #washingtondc

The 2023 tipped min wage will now be $5.35X CPI, (presumably about $6) plus $1 wage increase on or about Jan 30th and then $3 on July 1st. In total, the 2023 min wage will increase to approx. $10/hr USD, an almost 100% increase. #initiative82 #i82 #WashingtonDC #bartender

Can I just order from my phone & QR Code. Delete the middle man. #initiative82 #i82 Robots can mix my drinks.
Waitressing: $43 USD to take an order, punch into computer. They don’t even carry dishes out from the kitchen or clean the table. (Yes! They want to make more.)
“Crovato employs about 31 people at her Georgetown restaurant but says it may not be feasible to keep them all once the hourly wage increases. She estimates that her servers currently make about $43 per hour. Her bussers make around $27 per hour.”

Pay what the market will bare. I don’t care. Just tired of the tip-culture. Totally out of control. Everyone has their hands out for basically doing their job. #i82 #initiative82 #tipsontop #livingwage

D.C. residents voted to pass #Initiative82, which will require D.C. employers to pay $16.10 an hour to tipped employees regardless of how much they earn in gratuity. #i82 - burden will fall in customers. (Sure I’ll pay for your poor life choices.)
When dining at a restaurant in Washington DC: expect to absorb inflation, post COVID-19 profit-taking, 20% #Initiative82 surcharge to make up for minimum wage and the capstone, 20% tip on top. #i82 I can't wait. Where do I sign up? #livingwage #QRCode

Tipped workers don't want #i82. They make too much money just to take your food order. #initiative82
Establishments must pay the $15.20 MinWage today. #i82
If tips don’t cover $10.15/hr difference bt that & $5.05 tipped wage, employer must still pay $15.20.
Under #initiative82, the employer pays min. $15.20 and can’t use any tip to cover.
A 200% wage hike!
Can I get to-go or order on-line?
