A few new restaurants in Providence, Rhode Island have gone tip-free.
The restaurants will instead charge customers a 22 percent fee on their meals, and the workers will make a flat hourly wage.
The owners said one of the reasons for the change is so that the kitchen staff will get paid equally with the servers. The servers sometimes make much more than the kitchen because of tips.
