Reply to comment by kubabooba in Would you Tip the same or at all, if the service industry workers earned states minimum wage or more. That be the case if the Question D in Portland passes. by kubabooba
If you are basing your tip on how much the bartenders make hourly, wouldn't you need to know the actual figure?

No, I don’t tip grocery clerk or my post man Because I know they are not a tip credit workers and they make at least states minimum wage. It is commonly known that service industry is paid with tips and tip credit. So if the question passed it would be commonly know that they make at least the minimum wage, and a lot of other minimum wages don’t get tipped. That’s the reason for the poll question.

If you go to South Portland or Westbrook or Falmouth for dinner do you plan to ask what the hourly wage is at the restaurant before you write the tip on the slip?

There are a decent number of restaurants and bars in town that already pay minimum or more hourly plus tips. Do you know which those are? Do you tip less in those places?
The point is to illustrate the absurdity of your question.

No, can you please tell which restaurants and bars pay minimum wage and observe the tip credit law?
