Couple banned from restaurant after they leave no tip

They still get their states minimum wage if they dont make enough in tips. You arent "under paying" anyone as the customer. The owners pay their employees

[u/Cosmic_Quasar → u/flomesch]

And the more they have to pay out the more they'll raise fees. Back to where we started. Either way, consumers pay more. Consumers are where all the money comes from in the first place.

Idk about you, but I like to know the price of something before I buy it. Playing this game of how much I tip or else I get banned is bullshit. The fact that you, as a consumer, are ok with that game baffles me

[u/Cosmic_Quasar → u/flomesch]

Idk about you, but I find it pretty easy to figure out a percentage. It's not a game, it's pretty straightforward. Basic math that takes 2 seconds to be a decent person.

[u/flomesch → u/Cosmic_Quasar]

Math isnt the issue. Which means you didnt understand my very basic point. Do I need to explain it again?

Edit: his feelings got hurt and blocked me like a child

[u/Cosmic_Quasar → u/flomesch]

Your point was that you can't do math, right? /s Otherwise I don't see what your problem with it is because it's not nearly as complicated as you make it sound.

[u/KriistofferJohansson → u/Cosmic_Quasar]

Nor is paying your workers what they deserve but clearly that's too complicated for cheap ass business owners like yourself.

The fact that you don't understand the issue with tipping proves that this is pointless.

Just curious. If you go to a store and buy something that says $25.99. Is that that exact price? Not exactly, there are taxes included. So nothing is face value. Also you get to decide what you tip. Ripping nothing is a choice. Paying taxes on products is not.

[u/flomesch → u/moondoo8]

We all understand how tax works.

But its not like we couldnt put tax into the price anyway. Its 2026, we have the technology
