    and it’s not like their customers care that much about price, they could increase their prices by 20% and have just as many people showing up. But nope, they decide to introduce a shameful tipping culture instead.

      He did increase the prices by 20%, he just did it in a way that passes the blame on to his employees.

            If someone refuses to pay the tip it doesn’t affect the owner. It hurts the waiter/waitress.

              I am just imagining the logistics of this.

              If the table bought $100 of food and the bill added a 20% service charge, and the party puts down $100 and leaves, refusing to pay the rest, I think that is larceny and a crime, and they could be charged.
