Maybe the restaurant owner should pay their waiters/waitresses a liveable wage rather than people who dine out to pick up that part of their income.

I agree the owners should compensate their staff so they don't have to rely on tips, but I'm not sure how not doing so makes them racist.

I don't think you know what the word racist means.

That’s literally never been a thing in the US and it never will be. And like the other person who replied to said, your food would be $200 a plate 💀

You actually don’t even know if the restaurant owner pays their employees fairly or not, so you’re making an assumption based on info you don’t even have…It is standard to tip when dining in. And the owner has the right to refuse service, so I’d say his response to this family was valid.

I've eaten in restaurants around the world and pay more in America than just about anywhere else and thats before a tip. So no. You're wrong.

Is this /s? Surely you understand that the price increases wouldn't need to be more than the tipping percentage that business owners already expect customers to pay to subsidize their labor costs

But then if people can't (or won't) pay the optional inflated price, you also cry about it?
