 How to go out of business: https://i.nostr.build/s02t2qpV6PjeXKRI.jpg 
 *does it anyway* 
 Man, americans have psychiatric issues with tips 😂 
 tip of the iceberg fren! 
 To me it sounds like management needs to increase wages by 25%. 
 "If you can't afford to pay workers, don't start a business" is the new "if you can't afford to tip, don't eat out" 
 Is that English for "pay our staff cause we pay minimum wage"? 
 I would go in and order and tip 24% just to be "that guy" 
 I tip for exceptional service and not to pay your staff's wages.
Tips are a bonus and not a wage or part of your pay. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 In Japan, tipping makes you look super rude. 
 I would count that like the restaurants that had signs up blaming covid for staffing issues, slow order times, and rising prices. 

Sure thing you should just leave because the place sucks. The owner likes to blame everyone but their decisions for their businesses issues.

Good restaurants kept staff just fine and just silently raised prices as needed knowing that the market would continue to demand a quality product. 
 Better have great food, and a happy ending. 
 no problem in idaly where VAT is already @25% 🤣 
 Lower the food prices by a minimum of 25% first 
 Stop one second ... And think.
Now think again.
Still convinced the tipping logic in the US is right? Yes? Start all over again. 
 Could have charged for it normally. Instead sticks a passive agressive note on the door 😅. Hope cat lady manager feelt superior for a moment when writing it. 
 I waited tables while taking classes.  Every restaurant paid servers $2.13 per hour. If you don't get the best shifts and best tables, it sucked.  I switched over to line cook and started at $9, then $13, and now its $15-18 at most restaurants; outside of being a professional sous chef or head chef at a boutique ristorante or banquet setup.  
 Isnt it supposed to be optional?
