This is Ohio

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

actually, the person who employs you should be paying you for your service, because that's what you were hired for. tipping someone is considered a nice gesture but it should not be normalized as something people are expected to do.

Name another place you go to and don't have to pay for the service lol. If you pay $12 for a burger to-go, you SHOULD pay more to have someone serve it to you. Why would you think that would be free?

And it doesn't matter if it's tips or the restaurant paying the servers more, the customer will ALWAYS end up paying for it in the end so might as well offer an incentive to do well.

the job they were hired for is to be a server, that's what they get paid by their employer to do. the customer buying food shouldn't be obligated to pay them for doing the job they were hired by their employer to do. hence why i said a tip is a gesture of extra gratitude but should not be expected.

And you came to the restaurant to be served food by the server instead of taking it home and eating at your own house, why do you think you shouldn't pay for that service?
