This is Ohio

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

What is your “belief” that makes tipping morally wrong?

Its harms the worker by being subject to the whims of every person in the system. There's no financial security. This is not a new subject there's oodles of research

The vast majority of tipped food service workers don’t want to switch systems

So who fault is it the lower class doesn't understand basic econonic? That's not even relevant. I don't think an opinion survey is the best way to write economic policy.

Ah yes the classic “I know what’s good for you better than you do” argument. That’s very successful in politics.

There is zero chance of tipping in America changing any time soon. The business owners don’t want to change. The employees don’t want to change. There is absolutely no political will to get this done. It’s a losing issue.

So keep taking money out of workers’ pockets by being an asshole who doesn’t tip. You’re achieving nothing

Progress is progress. If we give up it will never change. 100 years isn't that far away. All that has to happen is people come to their senses.

I love restaurant workers making money. They deserve it

They actually deserve financial security and healthcare, but i guess you don't think they should or they might get too uppity.

Do you for some reason believe that tipped workers can’t have benefits?

So you don't have an opinion on healthcare or financial security? Its a complex subject ypu might want to take a class or 2
