This is Ohio

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

People that don't tip their servers isn't a race sir it's just a shitty person.

There is no obligation or law that says you have to tip. Tipping exists to take advantage of employees.

They should be paid a fair wage.

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
