I don't understand what one has to do with the other. The owners should not rely on workers being able to receive tips in the first place. Tipping is not something involving the owner, as this is (except when contractually clarified) a direct transaction between customer and waiting staff. To put it in a different context: I think I should pay the car rental shop less, because I know they have lots of money. They would laugh at me. So should the waiting staff.
