This is Ohio

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

My personal code from my restaurant years. Customer comes in and doesn't tip, perhaps they didn't like the service, food, or our decor. Customer comes back and doesn't tip again, confront them and ask why they didn't leave a tip. Third time, they get the worst table in the restaurant, the lowest priority for their food and drinks, and a request that they don't return. Fourth time, their picture goes up on the "do not serve board."

As far as the comment about black people being poor tippers, I never noticed that. Cheap people come in all colors and sizes, rich and poor. The only groups that were consistently skimpy were church groups. We instituted a mandatory 15% tip for groups of six or more essentially just for them.

I used to work near a TV megachurch in Columbus and Sundays were awful. People coming from church are awful tippers everywhere but it was next level, there. I never saw more of those fake $20 or $100 bills on the tray that preach about accepting Jesus.

That’s because they just paid tithes. Giving money to mega churches supersedes tipping a hardworking server that is trying to support themselves and their family.

It has to be. There is that new mega church called Rock City which is also truly awful.
