Looking out for each other

Customer still paid 70. Worker gets an excellent tip. The company isn’t a living entity so I do not care what occurs to it.

Win-win-win

Edit: to re-iterate the company is not a living entity. It is a business without feelings or a soul. If your counterpoint begins or centers on “the company” as a defensible entity: it is immediately moot.

I always find it fascinating that this kind of behaviour gets such a positive reaction almost across the board. When in reality it's essentially the same as the employee just stealing 14 bucks from the company (at least the end-effect is the same), which gets a lot less positive reactions.

Then people cry when their favourite restaurant closed down

I don't think Denny's is anyone's favorite restaurant

It's a Denny's and not a mon and pop shop

Approximately 95 percent of Denny’s restaurants worldwide are franchised

So, at least some of them definitely are mom and pop shops.

They should pay enough that their workers do not need to be concerned about tips to make a living wage.

So if it closes you don’t care about the workers who will have to try and find new jobs?
