Um, way to be incredibly classist. "If you can't afford to support someone else, why are you treating yourself to a luxury of any kind?"
Everyone needs luxuries sometimes. The solution to tipped employees not getting enough money is not to bully people who can't comfortably afford higher tips out of going out; it's to a) encourage unionization, b) eliminate the separate "tipped minimum wage", and c) raise the minimum wage in general. Or, y'know, implement UBI.
