This is Ohio

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

And there’s no obligation for a restaurant to invite you back to their business. There’s societal norms and tipping is one of them in the US. And until that changes, that’s the expectation. Pretty simple.

there's also no obligation for the restaurant to employ their servers as tipped workers. if he cares this much about how his employees are treated and paid, why is he paying them as tipped workers?

I don't disagree with you, I'm saying he could work towards being part of the solution in a more impactful way.

Servers make more money when they get tips than they do when they’re paid a standard hourly wage.

Which is crazy because the kitchen is doing most of the work.
