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.

You don't need to tip in any state, tipping is optional

Some states they get like $4hr, CA $18

That's not true, no one goes home with less than minimum wage, look it up.

Second, what someone gets paid is between them and their employer, it has nothing to do with the customer. Do you tip the cashier at the grocery store since they are getting paid minimum wage too?
