It means you don't have to tip.

If you're not going to tip, then don't eat there. You giving the tip to the owner isn't going to change anything.

Where I live, if the prices need to be higher to stay in business and give your staff a good wage, the prices just get raised. We don't tip except for rounding when it's cash. So I don't think adding an extra cost is weird, but it should be in the prices, and American tipping culture should go back into the hole it came from.

The person you're punishing has the least control over the situation, even if the punishment is small. Screwing over workers only makes it more American.

He’s not American. People in Europe get a somewhat liveable wage that doesn’t rely on tips.

They did make that pretty clear! If they weren't going to tip or their tip doesn't matter, then holding out doesn't matter either. If their tip was going to matter, then they've screwed over the employee and not the employer at all.
