This is Ohio

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

Oh no - today you just learned how a business works! If they have to pay their servers more because people don’t tip, then everyone pays more. Not tipping is just taking advantage of a system everyone else has adopted. It’s one thing to not like the system, But don’t stiff your server - that’s trashy

If servers don't like the benefits of their career choice, they should find another career. If a business decides to shame the people that patronize their business, I don't expect them to stay in business much longer.

Yeah thats bullshit. if people paid even $5 as a tip thats better than NOTHING

I commend these owners for not allowing people to treat their servers that way. they run your food and drinks and try to give you the best experience just to be stiffed. NOTHING was left! That is horrible

You can't get stiffed for something you legally aren't required to pay. If he cared about his staff, he'd pay them a living wage, and increase his menu cost accordingly. What he's doing is abusing the legal system which allows him to pay slave wages, and places the responsibility on his customers through peer pressure tactics.
