Initiative 82 Fee + Tipping We would like to inform you of an important update regarding our pricing structure. In response to D.C. Law 24-281, also known as Initiative 82, we have implemented a 6.5% “Initiative 82 fee” on all purchases. We want to take this opportunity to explain the reasons behind this adjustment and its implications. The “Initiative 82 fee” has been introduced to ensure fair compensation for our hardworking staff. Under the new law, the previous system of tipping and tipped minimum wage will gradually be phased out by 2027. By implementing the “Initiative 82 fee”, we are able to distribute the increased labor costs associated with the higher minimum wage across all customer transactions. This allows us to provide equitable wages for our entire team while maintaining the quality of service you expect from us. This fee is used to cover increasing operational costs. We want to assure you that the service fee is not a replacement for tips. Tipping a suggested 14-18% is still a vital part of compensation for our staff during this transition as Initiative 82 gradually raises hourly pay and eliminates the tip credit by 2027. It is designed to support our commitment to fair wages for our employees who work diligently to make your experience enjoyable. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support in this matter.
"On November 8, 2022, Washington D.C. voters overwhelmingly passed Initiative 82 or the “District of Columbia Tip Credit Elimination Act.” As a result, the tip credit for D.C. tipped wage workers will be gradually phased out by 2027, at which time employers must pay their tipped employees the applicable D.C. minimum wage rate and eliminate the use of any tip credit." 这不是废除小费，而是禁止雇主用tip credit付给服务员工资。

你觉得他们会放弃小费吗？ 不可能的
差的餐馆一小时轻松多少刀呢
一般的餐馆一小时多少刀呢
改自助或者机器人点餐送餐
感觉小费更像是文化的东西。想废除不会很容易
不是说给小费的理由就是因为这些人没有工资吗
现在这个理由不是不存在了吗
我这自助机器人点餐送餐的店一样小费20%起。 给机器人小费，hmmm
别想着这个法案是废除小费。到时候小费你一分钱别想少给。
因为只有坑韭菜的议案是立即生效的， 装样子骗支持的议案都是哄毛驴拉磨的胡萝卜，注定看得见吃不着。
加州太惨了
2027年才16块/每小时，这也太低了。
是现在的16块 2027数值会更高 但购买力会相当于现在的16块
我已经完全不吃了。都是等着出去旅游大吃大喝。

小费18%现在都mandatory了。
吃过一家机器人送餐的，照样收小费。
到时候你不给不就完了？他们放不放弃有啥用？？？
什么叫做不放弃？ 小费就不做服务生的意思吗？
否则客人不给， 服务生能怎么办？
老板又不是靠小费生存的， 除非所有服务生都一起劣质， 否则换人就是了
为啥一个服务生就能同时拿捏住了老板和客人？
好的餐馆可以提高waiter的底薪啊 又不是必须16块钱 或者提高菜价
加州的receipt没有任何改变啊 小费那一栏还在
吃不起？吃不起餐馆老板自然降价。都是生意。 比起来，明码标价比收小费好一百倍。
那就不去餐馆呗，国内餐馆不要小费不是活得好好的
写0啊，跟现在togo一样了
不轻松，钱也不是那么少。 生意不错的华人餐馆，5点到11点，管4张台，翻一次，消费$400-$700/桌，大概算$4000餐费，小费$800-$1000. 碰到周末开酒点珊瑚虾的，$2000一晚。 老板给工资都没兴趣拿
吃不起几别吃了, 简单.
这是土豪餐厅吧？ 还可以的中餐一家三口或者四口一般也就是吃120 上下吧。20%的消费24 一桌。 1000消费要做40桌。。。
都是陋习 最舒服的还是明码标价 税服务费都打到价格里 账单多少就付多少
以前可能人工算账 把税单独列出来好算账 现在都是电脑账单电脑报税 为啥还要把税单独列出来呢 超市买东西商场买衣服加油吃饭 税都单独列出来就是多此一举 不如就出个总数 电脑自己按比例算税就好了
效果不就是让老板涨价然后给服务员发工资吗
以前是顾客直接给服务员发工资
现在变成顾客通过老板给服务员发工资
不就是变相废除小费吗
你这是哪儿的神仙华人餐馆能做到平均每桌消费$400-$700？除非是专门做宴席的，每桌坐十几个人。那你一个人不可能同时照顾的好4个桌子，五六十个人。
当然肯定也有米其林餐厅人均消费一百多的，不过这不具代表性，就像每个行业都有能拿百万年薪的，但没有意义，不代表行业平均水平。
美国的效率永远慢好几拍
我们前几天去冰期凌店，花了$50，register一出来，就出现10，20，30% tip， no tip, 我LG脸皮薄，选了10%， 事后说怕别人追出来找他要tip.
啊？这帮人太狠了
Atlantis 强制小费及始是在stand 上买ice cream. on top of hotel resort fee.
Phasing out 嘛。不能一夜之间一刀切啊
一个人4台（6-10人）,还要翻台一两次，工作的确是很辛苦的。华人区这样高朋满座的餐馆很多，半岛等各大海鲜酒楼，上海滩淮扬菜这些大桌为主的都是。
华州最低时薪还不止15.50。 照样小费付
Cruise强制每天每人多少小费，舱位越高小费越高。这基础上还给信封，让填给各种服务员额外的小费。去自费的餐馆喝酒什么的，另外给小费。出去旅行到处都是让选小费，18%起
海底捞，iPad 点菜，机器人送餐，调料自取。依然20%小费。
无所谓，吃不起就自己做，就是不想吃个饭还要费心费力想小费多少。不如点餐前就说好，太贵我去吃Panera总可以吧
机器人收小费不合理啊
哪家，曝光啊
谢谢楼主贴这个。这还是说得很清楚的，从今年7/1开始，逐步把 tip credit 移动到 salary 上面来，2027年完全取消 tip credit. 同学们可以参考这个表，逐步减少给的 tip啦，撒花！
目前 tip credit 是现金工资的 160%, 所以tip 占收入的大部分，这部分以后完全是现金工资，极好，没有理由收tip啦。
没有底薪就是收小费的原因
提高底薪就等于废除小费
