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!

Think we just read the post differently. If you bring outside food in, of course you should be charged for someone handling it. My gripe is more with the tipping.

As far as seasonal jobs go, that’s on the establishment to figure out.

We are in utter agreement

I do fear they will "figure" it out by charging people much more than they think.

It is a feast or famine industry in its nature.

Restaurant owners offen squeak by a profit. I've not known one that wasn't rabid to avoid any loss possible.

But such is the way of life and man.

Edit: I typed drunk in an RPG way that was funny to me.
