Title: Tipping, tipping, tipped over
Post by: GTRS Fiero on October 09, 2019, 06:14:42 pm
7 of us ate a business luncheon at a restaurant, at 2pm, meaning we got there at 2, ordered, but were not served until after 3:30.  We ate, and were gone by 4:07.  The place was not particularly busy, and the food was OK.

The cheque was presented to me, complete with 25% gratuity added.  According to the cheque, 15% was automatically added to the bill on groups of 8 or more, after 5pm.  I commented on this, and the waitress got an attitude, and told me "close enough".  I nodded, and left her a nickel, telling her that that was "close enough".  I spoke with the manager, and who said that the bill was the bill, and, he could not change it.
I requested that the owner call me, and left a business card.  Looking at the cheque, the waitress charged us for a meal we did not receive.

This should be interesting.  25% is a very nice tip.  I can't say I usually tip that much.
