It was a joke you fucking jackasses.

I lack a degree in that subject, so I can't be held accountable for not getting it.

It's a service charge. It's mandatory in my restaurant for parties of 6 or more, because large parties, especially college students, will stiff you all the time.

I don't expect you to tip me over the gratuity charge, and when you do it's nice, but for the love of god, please see rant!

Well, then they should be plain and call it a service charge... no gratitude involved ;-)

Calling it a gratuity or tip makes people think its based on the service quality of the staff, instead of a "you have no choice, no matter how shitty the waiter was" service charge.



In this case, what you call it is a matter of semantics. I guarantee that any place which has an automatic gratuity will list it, and its terms, on the menu in plain sight. This is a common practice.

That was my point exactly... IF you call it a tip,monkey brains will likely semantically connect to something like "Good Server = Good Tip, Bad Server = Bad Tip".

Actually, most of them will start thinking of reasons they shouldn't tip.

Of course you blame the guy with the flashlight!

Haven't you watched horror movies... the monster is always right beside you, but it never attacks till the idiot with the flashlight happens to catch it in the beam.

Fuckin guy with a flashlight  :argh!:

Hey, it would attack anyway.  It just has a sense of theatrics.  No flashlight = dead anyway.  As evidence, I offer the end of the first Brandon Fraser Mummy movie.

Which is how it should be, if your server does a shitty job they don't deserve a tip or a "service charge" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. If it's extra money beyond what the food costs, it's a goddamn tip.

We can go back and forth about this forever, ultimately it matters for fuck-all until someone fights it in court and the courts make a decision.

I'll agree that they should have to pay the large party fee.  But looking at the article, I have to wonder what went on when the restaurant took the rest of the money, then called the cops after they left.   :?
