If I read this on a menu in a situation where I could go elsewhere, I would.
I might say this could be a temporary way around having to pay to get all your menus reprinted, but these doofuses appear to have printed it directly on the menu. So yeah, they can get fucked with an egg beater.
🤣
Is there an upcharge for said fucking.

It means you don't have to tip.
If you're not going to tip, then don't eat there. You giving the tip to the owner isn't going to change anything.
Where I live, if the prices need to be higher to stay in business and give your staff a good wage, the prices just get raised. We don't tip except for rounding when it's cash. So I don't think adding an extra cost is weird, but it should be in the prices, and American tipping culture should go back into the hole it came from.
The person you're punishing has the least control over the situation, even if the punishment is small. Screwing over workers only makes it more American.
They did make that pretty clear! If they weren't going to tip or their tip doesn't matter, then holding out doesn't matter either. If their tip was going to matter, then they've screwed over the employee and not the employer at all.
If you are upholding tipping culture you are literally part of the reason as to why they need tips.
