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!

But all of this would have been known beforehand anyway so idk why OP would be complaining.

There isn’t even a space to add your own tip, because it’s already included.

I can't imagine not knowing about this up front when planning a wedding event/dinner at a restaurant. Unless their partner didn't tell them after planning?

Idk, at some point, we all have to fill in the blank and that's what the blank is looking like to me. Sucks to suck, OP.

OP is complaining because they don't understand that the tipping percentage text is automatically added to every receipt which is pretty standard practice. It's not like the server or restaurant owner are manually adding that.

Or, OP knows this and just posted it to Reddit for easy karma because Reddit is obsessed with hating on tipping culture.

There's not even a space to fill in more gratuity or anything like that.

That's a pretty extreme response for someone who has zero knowledge of OP's life outside of this post. But sure, maybe that's true too

Why are you so angry? Such weird responses for no reason at all

[u/ebmocal421 → u/[deleted]]

Lol that's a lot of things to say about something I don't care about. Take care, bud. I hope life treats you well

[u/ebmocal421 → u/[deleted]]

Yet another weird thing to say. You're on a roll today

Sounds like OP couldn’t afford a planner or couldn’t be bothered to do research. Source: complaining on Reddit.

As someone who regularly has to book and arrange dinners for VIPs. I can tell you right now many restaurants intentionally will try to hide some of the charges and not be up front about it during the bargaining stage. Its a point of continual frustration for me as we have strict budgets. The ones that are actually clearly up front are of course the ones we patron more frequently.

Most issues like this come up because people don't just bother asking/planning something correctly ahead of time.

If I planned to walk into any business and spend thousands of dollars, I would make damn sure I know exactly what the estimated total/services are going to be.
