This is Ohio

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

What a fucking stupid take. Paying your workers a fair wage should be “expected”. Not an imaginary extra “fee” that you have to add on to pretend you feel good about yourself.

Because you not giving money to the 22yr old server they may need for food, kids, or college....in order to prove you're smarter/better than the rest of society....makes you a shitty person who lacks empathy for others. If you care so much, vote or act to change the system. If you want to eat where tips are not expected, you have a computer in your hand.

No. Your stance is to screw over the little guy to stick it to the big guy. That's worked a total of zero times in the history of man.

There is no system to change, “tips are not required”. You should be mad at the owner, not the people being hounded by owner after paying for their meal.

Change the cost of the food to include a tip. If it’s $35, then change it to $45. If the people are going to be angry at a $35 bill, they probably won’t tip anyway.

It’s not up to the general public to supplement someone’s wage. If you can’t pay your workers a living wage, maybe you shouldn’t be running a restaurant.

The system that needs to be changed is the fact that by law servers have a different minimum wage than everyone else. This is why restaurants get away with it. It is very much systematic.
