(Portland, OR)  --  Soon, patrons at a Portland restaurant will be able to pay for their meals without having to calculate how much to pay for a tip.  The award-winning Le Pigeon will follow a trend among top restaurants across the country by eliminating tipping.  Co-owners Gabriel Rucker and Andy Fortgang say customers will see higher menu prices, but the overall cost of eating at Le Pigeon will remain the same.  The restaurant will increase pay for employees, and managers will reward employees who perform well.
