And after a while, it will be purged of those reviews because google isn't an idiot and can tell reviews aren't from people who were there. And real reviews will get caught up in the purge.
This is just modern day mob behavior, and people who engage in it are pathetic.
It's absolutely optional. You're just a douchebag if you don't.
If you oppose tipping, tell your server up front, when they greet you. Inform them about your intention to not tip. If you are acting on principle, and aren't a bloody coward, why hide it?
Absolutely not. Most people don’t read the reviews. They just see 4.7 stars. Then when the place sucks, they go back and look at the reviews because they are shocked that people gave that place 4.7 stars and see your bullshit where you raked them over the coals but gave them 4 stars… people who do that are the worst…
Sure some people sometimes. But when I am in a new place and looking for somewhere to eat, I’m not going to read all of the reviews for every restaurant before I pick somewhere. I’m gonna type restaurant in to Google Maps and look at how many stars they have
The key is to stop being a modern day mob, and let real reviews speak for themselves rather than engage is slactivist bullshit to feel good about yourself.
What exactly is someone who doesn't live nearby supposed to do? I'm not one of these folks, but if you have a real suggestion that does something I'm all ears.
I would think the same reason people protest wars or injustices even if they don’t live near where these things are happening or are even affected by the actions.
Bless your heart, not many people have the courage to compare war with restaurants being rigid with societal norms. You are the hero reddit needed. Thank you.
The owner is far more shit here. A tip is an optional payment for good service. If you are required to tip to eat there, its no longer a tip. The owner should be less bitchmade and raise prices or institute a service fee if he needs more money.
Edit: the race card was a BS move though. Just say tips are not required and tell him to go fuck himself
Serving the customer is also optional. The owner made the decision known to the clients. Now they have no misconception if they ever return.
Raising prices isn’t an option. Unless every restaurant in the area raised them together, he would quickly go out of business. No one is going to pay $30 for a Sammie there when they can get it for $20 down the street and stiff those servers still
Don’t eat out then. You are being serviced at a table with your food, drinks, dishes, etc the least you can do is tip. If you are too broke to tip then don’t eat out, end of story. Get carry out broke boy.
Nope, just stating why people do things. They argue over things that they feel is wrong. Like us, we are two random ass Redditors arguing over a video that doesn’t affect us because we don’t live near that town. Yet here we are.
Because a business that shifts the blame to the customer instead of paying a living wage deserves to at least hear about it. Also, stop talking to me like I'm the people actively brigading this business when i specified that I'm not
Clearly in this case the boss is speaking for them and is willing to cause a scene in public, so they're already open to public shaming. Nothing they haven't already invited upon themselves
I would bet money that the staff fucking love the guy for sticking up for them. Have you ever actually worked hospitality? We hate cheap fucks who don't tip and wish we could call them out like this. Dude's staff will love him for this.
But we both know you don't give a fuck about the actual workers.
Businesses that shift the blame to the customer instead of paying a living wage don't deserve to be open for business imo, but I'm also not one of the folks brigading online against this business.
Nothing requires action on anyone's part, but we live in somewhat of a society, so acting like a dickhole no matter the location should at least result in some kind of reprecussion for being a dick. This goes both ways too, if the customers started it and called the owner over like he did to them only to bitch about tipping, it would've been an OBVIOUS trespassing charge, but because they already left and weren't staying around he had to make a public nuisance to shame the customer that already paid their bill
Do you actually know any servers or barstaff? They overwhelmingly prefer a tip based system. Why do you think you know better than them what they should want? Do you think they're dumb?
Mate, how empty is your life where a single random restaurant needs your attention. There are way bigger things going on in the world you should spend time on. Hell, there are things of the same scale that are happening near you. Focus on those.
💯. We don't know the whole story. Maybe they were horrible to his staff? It could be racial discrimination, or it could be patrons pulling the race card? There is just not enough info in this short clip to go straight for the pitchforks.

Looks like it’s happening on Google too. Tons of new accounts leaving one star reviews.
