        If someone refuses to pay the tip it doesn’t affect the owner. It hurts the waiter/waitress.

          I am just imagining the logistics of this.

          If the table bought $100 of food and the bill added a 20% service charge, and the party puts down $100 and leaves, refusing to pay the rest, I think that is larceny and a crime, and they could be charged.
