This is both funny and sad. Earl Green had a great over the twisties route planned for an R Gruppe drive after we gathered at PIR on Nov. 9th...the drive was great. We ended up at an establishment I won't name, other than to say it serves microbrew beer and great burgers. Before we ever ordered, we were informed that a "17% gratuity" was expected. This because we were a large group and they wouldn't give us seperate tickets. I asked the guy if we had to wash dishes if we could come up with only 16%. Evidently, the comment went over his head. Since the food and service were both merely okay, they got more than 20%...
Still, the way a tip was just added to the bill? Pretty tacky, IMHO...
