Here in WA state, the minimum wage per hour is $15.74 (higher in some areas). Tipping culture says 20%, but that’s generally to support lower paid waitstaff in areas that can pay less than minimum wage by employers. Where/What are you tipping and what kind of service would you expect for a 20% tip?

    McDonald’s has been paying $22 an hour for years on the Eastside. Workers actually get pretty good pay around Seattle. It still doesn’t go very far though, because housing is fucking ridiculous.
