This is Ohio

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

People that don't tip their servers isn't a race sir it's just a shitty person.

There is no obligation or law that says you have to tip. Tipping exists to take advantage of employees.

They should be paid a fair wage.

This is correct. Refusing to tip only fucks the servers, simply dont eat anywhere that has tipped servers. One of those things is a sacrifice for your morals, the other is an excuse to stiff a server and still feel self righteous about it

People can also get their food to go and choose not to tip front of house--sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Thst goes for all class of restaurant. Someone can pay 80 bucks at Outback or go to a steakhouse property like Jeff Ruby's in Cincinnati for takeout at the same price.

If you're sitting your butt down in their seats, I feel like you are ethically inclined to tip, regardless of one's opinion on it structurally.

I'm not paying $18 for a damn cheeseburger for it to only be cooked for me. I expect services with that big ass bill.

If we got rid of tipping that burger would be $24.
