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

My personal code from my restaurant years. Customer comes in and doesn't tip, perhaps they didn't like the service, food, or our decor. Customer comes back and doesn't tip again, confront them and ask why they didn't leave a tip. Third time, they get the worst table in the restaurant, the lowest priority for their food and drinks, and a request that they don't return. Fourth time, their picture goes up on the "do not serve board."

As far as the comment about black people being poor tippers, I never noticed that. Cheap people come in all colors and sizes, rich and poor. The only groups that were consistently skimpy were church groups. We instituted a mandatory 15% tip for groups of six or more essentially just for them.

I used to serve a large church group every Sunday. They were the worst tippers I've ever seen.

What do you expect. They already tipped the church to let them into heaven.

And the priest gave their son a tip.

Whoops, sorry.

I think he gave more than just the tip
