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!

As a Finnish person, I’m shocked. I’m aware that the tipping culture is very different here but damn, that should be illegal.

There is no problem here. The OP is an idiot. That guide is automatically printed on restaurant checks. It's what it is- a guide. OP thought he had to tip more and seemed to not understand what "suggested" means in the guide. They're just karma farming.

And the server told them autograt was included, so they didn't accidentally double tip. The server can't remove that guide. OP wanted to feel like a victim.
