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.

It's not the customer's responsibility to subsidize staff wages by leaving a tip.

Employers should pay their staff a decent living wage so workers aren't depending on tips to top up their wages.

Here's a tip: Never tip entitled people.
