I'll probably drop to a 7% tip once minimum wage is increased.

However the kitchen is getting paid more so tip out to the kitchen should drop as well so maybe it does drop to 5%.

Or maybe restaurant owners will take this opportunity to eliminate tips from the system and have a madatory service fee instead of raising prices
Already happening in the US
