I strongly disagree, NB. Regardless of what thy are being paid, prices
are set by the owner of the business to reflect operating costs+profit.
The server, not the owner, is providing the service to the customer
and tips are reflective of quality of service.

The fact that 100+ employees have quit or been fired in a year says
something about the ownership/management. Having watched some of the
video clips, I wouldn't work for either of them, much less BOTH. It
looked like a lot of creepy abuse, attention-seeking and power issues.
