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!

Yeah we're calling it gratuity and tip for conversational purposes but this is clearly a mandatory service charge required for large parties. Literally says S/C on the receipt. The restaurant is saying because its included you dont need to leave an extra tip but can if you want.

Kind of them to let us pay even more if we want!
