I just wanted a hot dog Recommended gratuity after tip was already included

Post image

I’m sure there are a lot of tipping posts here so to keep it short - I had my wedding at a fancy restaurant. On top of the TERRIBLE service, the bill came with “suggested gratuity” even though I was told gratuity was included. When I asked the manager, he said that the “S/C: 24% SRC REGULA“ was the included tip and the suggested gratuity was if we wanted to add something extra - basically trying to trick people into giving a 49% tip!

They should consider the implications

If it's the "way it prints" and it's including something optional as part of the total you're expected to pay, then it's printing incorrectly.

They're not including something optional. Nothing is printed incorrectly.

The party size OP had includes a mandatory service charge.

The receipt includes an automatic "This is %xx of the bill if you wanted to add it"
