Said it before I'll say it again. I think it should be illegal for one industry to pay less base wage than state and federal minimums, on the expectation that the consumer will make up the difference. And that the taxes will all work out perfectly somehow (ona wing and a prayer).

In my world, the only thing that'd change is restaurants would have to pay the same mandated minimum wage as everyone else. Period. Tips would NOT be affected, they would be given freely as they are now. But hold restaurants to a legal base wage. If some restaurants fail because of it, then frankly thats tough bananas. This would also make nonsense like "mandatory tip" obsolete (it's an oxymoron anyway).
