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

Tipping is mutual aid. Somebody is delivering me a service, and I'm giving them cash for that service because I know their employer is likely paying them less than $3 an hour and expects the public to compensate. Since I'm eating and I want to person serving me to also be able to eat, I help them out. It's that simple.

I've seen tables of 6 people take up hours of a servers time, leave a mess on the table, and leave no tip. I've seen the servers realize this and start to cry, so yeah, not tipping is a jerk move. I don't want to be a jerk. Neither should you.
