Fine, then restaurants, the majority of which operate under very thin profit margins in the best of times, will simply pass the increased expense to patrons, who in turn often have their own struggles to consider, especially among those who eat at non-Ruby level restaurants. So, the patrons will either stop tipping altogether or leave nominal tips, since the servers are now being "paid", and the servers will find themselves with less disposable income. And thus they'll work in new professions, and your new server at Ruby's will be on the competence level of a bad fast food employee. Great plan, ace.
