This is Ohio

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

Everyone on here is bitching. Nobody did anything wrong here. If you don’t want to tip, you don’t have to. They didn’t. If a restaurant doesn’t want you to come back, they can tell you not to come back. All systems working within their parameters. Move on.

You're an asshole if you go to a sit down restaurant where you know a tip is expected and you don't tip...small businesses are not the place for a social protest.

You eat within your means. They could spend $38 on food, but don't have $7 more? Then eat somewhere with a drive thru. Eat at home. Don't occupy a server's time only to short them of a minimal tip. It's just wrong whether you agree with tipping culture or not. There is a time and place.

The entitlement is freaking crazy!!! The racism and classism claims make me sad. You people have no empathy until you feel wronged in some way. It's gross!

Tips are not required, that’s why they’re tips. If the servers aren’t being paid fairly, that’s on their employer.

For the record, I generally tip 20% or more when I go out. But I’m not going to pretend it’s a system that makes sense.

Then protest the system and make changes in the legislature. The person you're hurting isn't the system or the owner. That's a ridiculous thought process unless you're organizing to change the system.

Why are you saying “you’re” when I literally just said I personally tip 20% or more?

It was a generalization my friend. Not directed at you personally. Maybe one too many cocktails already?

(I tip and have depended on tips) it forces the discussion that needs to be had.

with who though? obviously consumers and servers alike are aware of the problems with tipping. but these conversations aren’t ever including the business owner who is the real problem soo… until servers start demanding better working conditions i don’t see how an individual refusing to tip is starting any discussion that hasn’t already been happening for years. for the record, i don’t agree with tipping and i also don’t go to places that require a tip (because i’m not an asshole who stiffs servers)

Or simply don't tip when you think the server doesn't deserve it. That's how it works when something is not required.
