What a country. How about "if you can't afford to pay your employees properly, you _can't_ afford to own a restaurant." Seriously, it's embarrassing.
A sign on a restaurant door that says:

ATTENTION:
WE DON'T PAY OUR STAFF TO SMILE AT YOU.
SERVICE CHARGES ARE __NOT__ TIPS.
TIP WELL, OR GET OUT. OUR PEOPLE WORK *DAMN* HARD. SHOW SOME RESPECT.
IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO TIP PROPERLY, YOU __CAN'T__ AFFORD TO DINE HERE.
SERIOUSLY. DON'T BE CHEAP. IT'S EMBARRASSING.
THANK YOU.

This little gal isn’t my pet, She just came through the cat door at 2am. (She was safely returned home in the morning.)

I think I am going to have to sue this "restaurant" out of business. #hotdogs are NOT sandwiches.
A restaurant menu depicting three types of hotdogs as sandwiches.  Shameful.

I'm thinking... what is the worst thing that could happen to me if I don't do the ättestup? I'm just going to skip the whole thing. #norsemen #ättestupa #RidiculousHRRequests
A still image from the series "Norsemen" during the scene were village elders are encouraged to jump off a cliff (ättestupa).
