What about tips and tip sharing in Seattle? Wouldn't that factor in, too?

  Back of house generally doesn't get tips.

    There's change in the air on that one. Minneapolis, for one, commonly adds service fees to restaurant bills and shares with the back. Some referenda in a couple days will determine ending the minimum wage exemption (which would be a shot across the bow for tips and thereby the imbalance between front and back of house). Fought heavily by large restaurant industry players.

      Seattle and WA, where Dicks is, has not had a tipped minimum wage exception for many, many years. And also, Dicks is not a restaurant with wait service, so I have no idea why a tip would be expected. Even without the tipped minimum wage exception in WA/OR/CA, tips are still socially expected for wait service in the West coast, so waiters would probably continue to earn more in Minneapolis.
