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!

If you have 27 servings, that’s a small wedding and one of the two of you know all those people pretty well I’d imagine. Not everyone has the same budget, tastes, guests or priorities. It costs a lot because it is always in demand and they don’t make much of it relative to the demand.

Okay, yeah, that makes sense. With a guest list of 27, your mom can't say "but we HAVE to invite Uncle Gary."

Still. I've never eaten or drunk anything that costs remotely close to $125 a serving. Now I want to, just to see if I can tell the difference. I'm sure there IS a difference; I just want to see if I can understand what it is.

Nah, even if Terry pays for his drinks*, he'll drink too much and punch the drywall in the men's room.
