This may be a very unpopular opinion, but I tip as little as possible. I don't live in the US, and don't like how tipping has spread as part of a cultural export from the US, to places where a perfectly fine minimum wage exists. On top of that, US behemoths like Square are bringing the tip screens to every POS terminal. Sorry but I will not give a tip for grabbing the sandwich from behind the till and handing me a soda from the fridge.

The only time I tip is when I have an expectation of repeat business, like at the hairdresser or my favorite bar/restaurant.

> the new net wage is $23 an hour.

> At that higher wage, more people will apply for the job. The increased supply of labor will allow the boss to pay less than $10 an hour; it might suffice to pay only $7.

How is the boss taking advantage of the increased supply of labor that is conditional on increased pay, if that boss is short changing on pay vs the market?

If all other restaurants have increased net wages, this boss will run short on waiters.
