This one's maybe a little edgy but, I mean, heck, we want to make sure that the moderators for this board have something to do -- it's job security, right?

Or if the food sucks?
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Just raise all your prices 25% don't accept tips and pay your employees a decent wage
Jeez- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
so... my intent here is absolutely NOT to besmirch another forum, or what is in fact a perfectly reasonable question.
Altec woofers of a certain era famously used a sticky black goo on their (accordion pleat) surrounds to mitigate their mechanical properties (resonant frequency and probably other T/S parameters, too). The goo is notoriously metastable; e.g., it can run and redistribute under the influence of gravity.
I guess a poster with an Altec driver has some response anomalies (apparently a couple of broad but perhaps not very pronounced peaks) and is asking about a possible causal link. I just found his thread title to be quite amusing...

Doesn’t sound doable, in today’s market, as people are so gun shy of everything increasing in price at alarming amounts.
Having owned a restaurant/bar one can easily price themselves out of customers. They have other choices called competition.
Unless it was a joke? -
No tips allowed, tips priced in. I don't see how this would prevent anyone from dining there.
I do see how it would be harder to retain workers as tips can be lucrative- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

^ An interesting concept.
We always paid higher than chilis, Applebees and all the other outfits in town, including steakhouses and the rest of the restaurants.
This brought us the best employees, in the food service sect, to our restaurant/bar.
When someone gave us a two week notice of moving on we didn’t get the opening into the newspaper before we had dozens of people bringing in resumes, along with saying heard you have an opening coming up.
One very important aspect of the restaurant/bar business is consistency.
Consistency in food quality, consistency in service and consistency in how customers are treated.
Great example of this….
Chef Dave, would get so pissed at this one customer. She would always return Dave’s homemade chicken tenders saying something different each time in her complaint, Dave was absolutely correct that they were perfect, I instructed our staff to comp if there were issues.
Chef Dave, our Manager Sunny and I had several meetings about Ms Brenda.
The hard thing to make our employees understand was that we had their back. It’s totss as Lu a business decision.
Funny thing about Ms Brenda… she would bring parties of 6 plus people into our place, every week, bragging how great it was.
Once those friends came in we had added loyal customers.
So tell me, was it worth swallowing our pride for Ms Brenda to have our gross sales increase @ 12% in our slowest growing year?
All years our growth was above 19% except for that one 12% growth year.
Everyone that has ever wanted to own a bar or restaurant I say please do it.
There’s a different mindset when it come to one’s own business as to what may be the right decision when dealing with customers in a real time environment.

Simply put? I wouldn't eat there. Tips are earned, not required. They are also dependent on the amount of service one gets.
If it's mandatory, then just raise your prices and YOU give YOUR employees a 25% tip. I 'm not gonna bail out your employees just because your a cheapskate. ....and I 'll tip and amount I choose, based upon service, thank you. Not because you seemingly demand it, as a condition that I choose to spend my hard earned money at your establishment.
That's all I gotta say about that.

Admittedly, I tend towards the loquacious -- but, as shown below, many men are much more taciturn. Laconic, even.

I'll just say that I don't believe "redneck" is the word you are looking for and leave it at that.

Here is an old picture of my 1967 Camaro that I ordered from Jones Motor Company in Bremen GA that was a Chevrolet dealership. I ordered it about the time I graduated from college.
I still have the original invoice and I think the total was about $3000. I should look for it to verify.
I remember black wall tires became the "hot" thing in the mid 60's, and the first thing I did was reverse all four tires from whitewalls to blackwalls. The Camaro had a 327 engine and a Hurst shifter.
As a kid, I always went to town with my Dad on Saturdays; mainly to the grocery store across the street from Jones Motor Company. We always ventured over to look at the Chevys especially when the new models arrived. My dad always liked to talk cars with Buell Jones a relative.
Here is a pic of one of the Jones Motor Company giveaway yard sticks of yesteryear.
Note the 4-digit telephone number.

I paid $3,190 for my 68 Z/28 which was $50.00 over invoice from a country dealer so that sounds close to me. Yea, white wall tires were "out" then.
