Yeah, but all of their prices have gone up. WE keep this siht up, no onw will be eating out and it will be the death of restaurants. I complained about this some time ago. We are now charged for tip before service is provided.
Get this, there's a column in some restaurants that charge a 20% service fee and that isn't tip. Tips are expected on top of that. Now that's 40% and I hear some of these places will include tips if its more then 4 people not 6 like the days of old. Happened to us at a Korean joint. 4 of us walked out of there with a 130.00 bill and 52 bucks was just that service and tips.
I never look at bills but the total number and pay it but wife caught it so we question them. They say, its just that, service for their staff and it is done all over the area. I stiffed them on the 20% tip. They can kiss my ass since I still have to cook my own food (or not).
Tipping is out of control. It starts at 22, 28 and 32% at those credit card payment devices. Yet, they are getting a bump in pay at 22 hourly, soon to be 25 if the left politicians have their way. Now tell me you can't live off that? If not, then learn a skill and do plumbing or something.
