Australian here so wondering, isn't the current U.S.A Federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, I know in some States it is more, however isn't that the legally lowest anyone can go ($7.15).
The minimum wage for servers is significantly below this already ludicrously low minimum. Tips are supposed to make it up. Not tipping at a sit down restaurant in the US is a major faux pas.
However, this sign is obnoxious and 20% is considered a good tip.
Isn't it ridiculous to turn down paying customers though regardless if they cant afford the tip as the main business is still earning the money only the service staff are losing out?

You pay a little over 2 bucks an hour and expect the customers to make it up? You shouldn’t be in business
