People who are adjusting their tips strictly as a result of knowing the new minimum wage are being a little bit ignorant to the fact that they didn’t know what their server was making before. That being the case how can they know how much they need to adjust to keep their server from a loss? (If that is their intention)

I've known many servers but have never heard of any making more than minimum wage. Min wage is just accepted as even at better/fancier restaurants you will just make up for it with higher tips. Not sure where this place is that was paying servers more than min, doubt its in Calgary, but either way I'd bet they are paying min wage now.

Oh ya, I don't feel bad for em. It was just always an easy perk for anyone with flexible morals, which seems to be most servers.
