The Walrus and the Carpenter

“Following Ivar’s lead, Renée Erickson is the next to cut tips from her restaurants since Seattle’s new Minimum Wage Ordinance went into effect April 1. Beginning Monday, May 4, The Walrus and the Carpenter, The Whale Wins, and Barnacle will no longer accept tips. In their place, the restaurants will add an 18.5 percent service fee to meals that will be shared between front- and back-of-the-house employees.”
