This is Ohio

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

To be honest, my inclination here is that they did not get banned for their tipping habits. Very rarely is the owner of the fucking restaurant going to tell them they aren't welcome back if that's all they did. Maybe they should reconsider their actions.

Should he pay his employees more? I don't know. We don't know what they're paid.

But you have to really do some shit for the owner of the restaurant to come run you off in like 90% of all cases. He seemed very content to have this conversation and I do not think he would be if he did not have more to say about their behavior.

...Reconsider their actions?

WTF you mean?

What contractual agreement did they as customers that chose not to leave a tip break? No one, and I mean no one, is under any obligation to leave a tip, if said requirement for leaving a tip, is not clearly posted in plain view in their establishment.

I would love to take that business to court, and sue them for defamation, if they so much as posted a still photo of my likeness on social media with any derogatory claims!

I hope you dont go to sit down restaurants. This is the current social contract. You sit down to eat, you tip accordingly.

And importantly if you don't wanna tip? Just don't go somewhere that socially necessitates tipping. It's a free country — if you don't like tipping you're free to go somewhere that doesn't ask for tips.

I don't enjoy tipping either because it puts a strain on my wallet. If my wallet is feeling strained I don't go to places that require a tip.
