The worst thing about the restaurant business is that it produces some of the biggest capitalist scumbags possible in the free market.
He's not wrong, but there is a better way to explain it. If i were director, the scene would include this dialogue:
In addition to the restaurant owner screwing the waitresses with an impossibly low hourly wage, he also inflates the price of your food twice; once by making the price higher than the cost of the food and labor required to prepare it (so he can profit for free off it), and then again by indirectly encouraging u to tip the waitress. So your burger, that actually cost seven dollars (hamburger meat and fifteen minutes for juan to grill it at $10 per hour) becomes fourteen dollars when the owner's desired profit and tip amount is added on.
The waitress should be making the legal mininum wage (at least) and the customer should not be obligated to tip... not made to feel like an asshole if he doesn't. It should be optional rather than an expected custom. It's that shame the customer would feel if he didn't tip that the capitalist parasite seizes and takes advantage of. That's what makes him such a special type of scumbag.
