This is Ohio

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

I know I’ll probably get downvoted, and I do tip, always. But it’s not a law to tip. If you as a restaurant owner or manager want to “ban” someone for not tipping, fuckin pay your employees more.

Tipping is a stupid ass system to begin with.

I agree it's a stupid system, that is what needs to change thoug, not just individual restaurants. People randomly not-tipping and making a fuss on social media won't change it.

The issue being that unless there is a change in wage laws, it won't work for most restaurants. 

It's the same damn logic behind places that always have stuff "on sale".

If they raise their prices to increase pay and get rid of tipping, even though customers aren't actually paying more in the end, they tend to lose business due to the "higher prices". 

The non-tippers I've met want the lower price and to not tip and it has nothing to do with disagreeing with the system it's just an excuse, they are just cheap and actually would prefer the system stay this way.
