I've only seen it in cities that have a higher minimum wage than state. In San Diego it only seems to be at the more expensive end of the restaurant business.

I've only seen it in cities that have a higher minimum wage than state. In San Diego it only seems to be at the more expensive end of the restaurant business. They put a sob-story on the menu explaining how they are going to add 3% to my check or else the minimum wage law will drive them out of business. Unfortunately it has the opposite effect for me and makes me think twice about supporting a business who will charge me $40+ for an entree but admit to not paying their staff a living wage.
