I hate how tipping is now customary at every single restaurant now, including places without servers.
Just wait until you visit a restaurant that automatically adds 18% gratuity then also expects you to tip on to of that.
Been there, won't return.
Even a large party... We brought you business, so you lower your service standards?
Fuck that. Pay your staff.
Also, it's uh, racist. https://archive.is/20230906072713/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/opinion/minimum-wage-racism.html
Oh you sweet summer child. I'm not talking about the "large group" gratuity (which is also bullshit)... I'm talking about restaurants that are now adding an 18% gratuity for every bill - even if you just came in to have a drink.
Sounds like a good reason to pay the bill with the CC and dispute it as fraud after the fact. Chargebacks hurt businesses.
Yeah. That's actually the "fuck you" part, as in, I'm not returning. As it is, I rarely eat out, partially for this reason, partially because inflation is painful.
