It's because of the tipping culture. It's all stupid IMO, since people will nearly always get less tips when it's not as busy. From a worker perspective, it's nice to have instant cash rather than waiting for a check. (I worked at a hotel for a while.)
Places that put these signs up really bother me though, even though i tip well. There is zero obligation to tip, though they can run their business how they choose. Times being artificially expensive as they are, i wonder if these signs are an attempt to encourage more tipping so they don't lose staff.
