MY family was in Florida one year, and we went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. The bill came out to about $100 US between five people, but hey we're on vacation...may as well spend a little.
Anyways, when my dad got the bill at the end of the meal, there was the $100 food price, and the 15% tip added right onto the bill bringing the expected price out of my dads pocket to $115. He was not amused.
We always tip, but a tip is something you earn, not something you expect. Basically, the restaurant could count on us paying their employees rather than leaving it to chance as to whether or not we'd leave a tip. Its a decision made by the customer, not by the company.
If the service was piss poor, would you feel that a 15% tip required by the bill is justified?
Still irks my dad today.
Have any of you seen the "Curb your Enthusiasm" episode about tipping?
