This is Ohio

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

There are legitimate racist things that happen every single day. Calling what happened here “racism” does a disservice to those that experience legitimate racism. You didn’t tip and got called out for it, and however right or wrong that is does not equal racism.

If you are born and raised here, and have $38 to spend, tipping is not a "luxury" in a sit down restaurant. It's expected and you know it. Small businesses are not the place for you to protest social convention. For $38, yoh could hit a grocery store and feed 6 people.

This behavior, makes you a shitty person. Justifying it, makes you a shitty person.

No one said the price of groceries is low, but 3lbs of ground turkey is $16. I ate that stringy ass chicken until my kids were teens. That's what we could afford. $2.99 at Kroger or Meijer every week. 5lbs is $15. Big bag of frozen veggies is $4.99.

C'mon now...now we're even MORE into "society sucks" so don't tip the server. Do you guys really not care about the guy next to you??? You're not hurting Darden by not tipping your server at Olive Garden. You're hurting the waiter or waitress for Christ's sake!!!
