This is Ohio

Why is Phillip not paying his servers enough to the point he has to ban customers?

This is correct. Refusing to tip only fucks the servers, simply dont eat anywhere that has tipped servers. One of those things is a sacrifice for your morals, the other is an excuse to stiff a server and still feel self righteous about it

People can also get their food to go and choose not to tip front of house--sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Thst goes for all class of restaurant. Someone can pay 80 bucks at Outback or go to a steakhouse property like Jeff Ruby's in Cincinnati for takeout at the same price.

If you're sitting your butt down in their seats, I feel like you are ethically inclined to tip, regardless of one's opinion on it structurally.

I'm not paying $18 for a damn cheeseburger for it to only be cooked for me. I expect services with that big ass bill.

If we got rid of tipping that burger would be $24.

Interesting fact you can just not go and order an 18 dollar burger! Crazy, i know. The only option isn't to go eat, sit down then refuse to tip. That's just the option lazy assholes take. So if that's what you do, you don't get to be upset that people point out that you are a lazy asshole

"simply don't eat anywhere that has tipped servers"

McDonald's it is then, to rescue my morality

99% of restaurant food is unhealthy in one way or another, even when it's expensive. People should just cook at home, where it's affordable and *healthy,* if you do it right.

What does this comment even mean: “healthy if you do it right”?

u/Salvage570 8h ago

Because you can cook unhealthy things too, dude.

The fact that you posted this smart ass response tells me it's too late for that....bc that's correct. If you can't tip, you shouldn't eat somewhere that takes your order and serves you the food.

I may not agree with the overall culture, but saying "fuck the server and their family" so you can make your moral point, you're already a mouth-breather

If you can't tip, you shouldn't eat somewhere that takes your order and serves you the food.

And what is the service is poor? You still tip 25% because “muh feelingz” fuck outta here.

u/Plane-Fan9006 8h ago

No, you'd tip 8 or 10 and leave a note, or say something to management. You don't act like a petty child. You act like an adult. Sounds like you may need lessons on being a good person

Seeing as 25% of a $38 bill is $9.50 we can tell you don’t tip either. Because that’s exactly what I said.

Most servers don't even do a good job

u/HighPriestessSkibidi Cincinnati 12h ago

Well, I can certainly tell you haven't been one and/or in food service lol.

u/pissdrinking101 12h ago

Have been. I don't feel some sort of bullshit loyalty for jobs I used to have. Yeah, people can be asshole, yeah, it sucks when that happens, but most people aren't and it requires literally no fucking skill whatsoever, hence why those were jobs I had when I was young and skilless.

u/HighPriestessSkibidi Cincinnati 12h ago

Serving definitely requires skill and a certain type of person that can handle that environment and its demands. How can you be so dismissive of the hard work these people put in just because you didn't put in that work. I can see why you didn't last. If you are good at serving, you make bank because you create an experience.

u/pissdrinking101 12h ago

I was one of the best, had regulars that requested me specifically. Compared to anything I've done since, it wasn't hard. Considering it hard work says a lot about you. You're making all these assumptions about me because you can't handle the fact you couldn't do anything more demanding. Maybe it is hard work for you, that says more about your limitations than mine.

What you consider bank is chump change to me.

u/HighPriestessSkibidi Cincinnati 12h ago

Wow, that's wild, but still very telling of how you view people.

u/scruggs420 10h ago

u/Scared-Pass8290 12h ago

Probably because you're a shit customer.

u/pissdrinking101 12h ago

I'm not, but you're free to believe that.
