Gently — the service-charge thing is real in some cities, but DC voted in 2022 to phase out the tip credit and most places are still trading. Closures got blamed on it in the papers and the actual data was muddier than either side wanted. I don't have a clean number to give you and I'd be suspicious of anyone who does.
