    I don’t disagree, but who makes that decision? These are the areas servers swim in

    You’re not taking a stand or making any statement besides “I’m an asshole” if you go to a sit down restaurant and don’t tip

      I wasn’t even really talking about people who don’t tip. What if the people don’t ever come in? Then you wouldn’t get paid hardly at all if you only rely on tips. The owner of the restaurant has you there to clean and babysit their business in case a customer decides to show up and all you get is like $3 an hour for it because maybe you might get a tip if the customer is nice? That’s a shit deal. It’s not fair to restaurant employees. Also making them pay minimum wage doesn’t mean people won’t still tip. They totally will because the expectation is still there.
