Seems like most restaurants are complying early right?

In what way? You think they’ve already increased hourly wages?

Yes. There was an article in the WaPo not long ago where they interviewed several owners across town that were already complying and most of them did it with service fees.

Good for them. The service charges are still confusing garbage though.

I don’t mind them. It lets me know I don’t have to tip. It would be worse if they just raised prices and didn’t signal that their employees were getting paid $15 and hour.

I don’t mind them either in that sense, but many restaurants are ambiguous about whether the money is for wages or just increased costs and still suggest tipping on top of that. Regardless, I generally don’t tip on top of service fees (as I mentioned to someone else in this thread).
