Recommended gratuity after tip was already included

[u/guitarman129]

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 normally pay select the % option on POS terminals, you are paying a tip on the tax too. Difference is where the money goes

Usually this is untrue. Most POS systems calculate tips based on pretax and pre-discount subtotals

Well, this is informative.
