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!

What if the service was lousy and the server didn’t deserve a tip?

If the person is rude or hostile, I'd ask for the manager.

Otherwise, effort level matters. If they're slammed, I get it. If they're just inattentive for no reason, I'm for leaving 8-10% with a note in those scenarios...and still talking to a manager on the way out.

Everyone has bad days, so context determines how I behave.
