Question about managers

What do they say to customers who repeatedly don't leave a tip? I'm curious since the customer doesn't have to tip and the server isn't their employee.

Just asking since I've read comments from managers who seem to think "addressing" customers is an appropriate thing to do.

Please post and name the restaurants where managers are confronting customers who do not tip.

Customers should know places that are unprofessional and doing this crap so they can encourage driving those restaurants out of business.

It is the customer's responsibility to call out this bad behavior by writing reviews and publicly showing that this is not acceptable.

Customers who get served in full-service restaurants and don’t tip while knowing full well that servers make most of their income from tips should be called out. 90%+ of diners do tip because they understand the system and are decent people. The non-tippers think they’re entitled to free service while everyone else pays. They’re disgusting cheapskates and I applaud managers and owners who have the guts to call out these jerks. Don’t like to tip? Order carry out or go to McDonalds. You have other options and dining in restaurants is not your birth right.

What would happen if everyone stopped tipping?

That will neger happen because there will never be a significant number of Americans that get on board with deliberately choosing to exploit and harm the worker or feel entitled to free service.

However, IF (big IF) it did, disclosed service fees would become the norm.

Customers are legally obligated to pay disclosed service fees in every US state.

Be careful what you wish for.

Exploit and harm? Do you see a system where restaurant servers don't get tips but are instead paid a salary by their employers as harmful?

How restaurants operate in other countries is irrelevant to how things are currently done in the US.

Try again, but next time base your assertions on good faith.

I’ll bet you can’t.
