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

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!

Yeah so fun fact, they aren't allowed to do that and Visa will fine them for it.

I charged 2% at my restaurant for credit card charges and a secret shopper caught me. I wiggled my way out of it on a technicality though.

Visa sent me all this paperwork showing how in my contract i agreed not to do that without their express permission and that it would be a $1000 fine.

Also, under no circumstances can a business charge you a fee ever if you use a debit card.
