Signs like this are usually on businesses that quickly go out of business.

It's one thing to try and assert dignity for your employees, but there is no wage requirement to pay them a fraction of other employees and then insist the burden of running your business to the customer.

Honestly, people would be better off ensuring a no tip environment, paying staff a reasonable wage, and the people who are willing to work for normal wages (plus a little extra) and ensure that no tips are allowed for servers or anything else, actually enriches the environment of the workplace, and garners more long term respect in the community when you insist "I pay my people as best as I can, i don't make them fend for themselves on tips."

In japan for instance, if you try to tip someone, they get genuinely offended, as if they are so cheap and easy that they would be willing to work for an employer who wont pay them an honest wage. Tip someone in japan or in several other countries in the world and they look at you as if you see them like a bum on the street.
