You can read it there...its too long to copy and paste.

tl;dr version?  Everything is going well so far.

I guess if you want to use the argument that since they got a raise you don't need tip that's all well and good.  But the tone of the image in that post was one that, to me, seemed to be more: You don't DESERVE to make more and I want to make sure you know it.

If those places keep raising the prices, eventually those minimum wagers won't have a job to complain about the poor tips at..
