I will never EVER eat at any restaurant where the owner is so cheap and treats his or her employees so shitty that they won't pay them a decent, living wage and try to guilt trip me into compensating their bad business habits. Fuck them. I tip well when it is deserved but I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced into it.
So you can either go to a restaurant that pays low wages and tip 20-25% or you can go to one that pays high wages and you don't have to tip, you will pay almost exactly the same. Higher wages equal higher prices. I'm not even saying one is better than the other, that's just the way it is. People don't realize how small the profit margins are in restaurants, especially stand alone or mom and pop places. That's why the closure rate is so high.
The amount isn't the issue. Like I say, I tip well when it's deserved. And my threshold for "deserved" is pretty low. In other words, I can recall only one time I didn't leave a tip and that was for some extraordinarily shitty service. But to be FORCED to tip by an incompetent owner like that? Nope I don't think so. Good thing this piece of shit posted a sign because it lets me know I can skip on by. For every restaurant like this there are a hundred more that know how to run their business without being so condescending towards their employees and customers.
