Such simple thinking… If bartenders take a hit in income what are they going to do? 1 ask for more money or 2 leave the place. Higher paid by the bar bartenders yields higher drink prices for you the consumer. If the bartenders leave then you have increased time to receive your beverage. 🙂

Tip them a quarter more? lets be logical please. It’s not the idea that people can’t afford it, its the other trickle down effects that make the tax bs.
