What in god's name does any of this have to do with the fact that bartenders make most of their money through tips? Earlier you said "I am not against raising the min wage if you are not against helping me pay for it." Then you used the example of bartenders (this is a terrible example for you, if I were playing devil's advocate I could find better), who would not be affected by a minimum wage increase because they already make most of their money through tips, which also doesn't affect you since you're still paying them the same.
Then you used some examples where you are forced to give them minimum wage money because they couldn't make enough in tips (strange ones) and I said this would happen so rarely that it still didn't affect you.
If you're running a highly-successful venue with a bartender actually tending bar, there's no way they're walking home with minimum wage most of the time.
